Hi Justin, Thank you. Please note that the libgfortran.so is not subject to the GPL in this case as one may relicense it under the Apache License 2 based on the license grant by the GCC developers. Thus any policy wrt to GPL is unrelated, as we are not talking about GPL software.
The ticket has been open since 7+ days, so there has been plenty of time to voice concerns. Let's discuss on the ticket if you have concerns. If not, what's the process to close the ticket?
