> When we review the legal documents with Microsoft for Windows work, here is
> the recommend from lawyer:
> Jython 2.5.2 redistributes an external LGPL component (JNA) in a manner that
> puts Jython out of compliance with the LGPL. As such dependent components
> like Pig are also arguably out of compliance with the LGPL.
> It appears that this has been quietly found and fixed by the Jython guys, as
> version 2.5.3 does not include the JNA component. However the status of 2.5.2
> with respect to the LGPL and Apache legal is still unclear.
> The easiest way to remediate this whole problem is to simply move Pig to
> Jython 2.5.3 and remove the question.
