This might not cause problems for us, but what about downstream projects?

What exactly do you have in mind? I think the patch and
my legal understanding* of this is that the addition of EUnit
tests is unobtrusive:

 - EUnit tests are not required to run to build or install CouchDB.
 - If a downstream project can't provide EUnit for whatever reason,
   they can't run our unit tests.
 - We continue to ship pure Apache 2.0 licensed code.

Hi,

I prepared a patch that adds EUnit-style tests to CouchDB:

What do you think?

I hate to rain on anyone's parade, especially when work and dedication are involved, but is everyone fine with the potential licensing issues
in adopting the LGPL'd EUnit module?


I figure it's just like using any other standard library, but I really
don't have the expertise on this matter.
