Hi Folks! The Apache Hadoop project would like to reuse the tap-to-junit-xml perl script y'all have in your source repo[1]. While reviewing the patch for incorporating this into our builds, I noticed that it's licensed "under the same terms as Perl itself."
With Hadoop's current use the file would end up in our source distribution, so we'd need to be able to incorporate the file presumably under the terms of the Artistic License. That license isn't yet categorized, so before I ask legal-discuss@apache to give Hadoop a decision on if this is acceptable I want to make sure I have the reasoning of the SpamAssassin community correct. >From what I can tell, y'all use this script as a part of your continuous integration test infra and don't include it in any of your release artifacts. Is that correct? Presuming the above is correct, I'm guessing the PMC's reasoning is that including the file in the source repository falls under the "use of prohibited licensed tools during build" exception[2]. Is that accurate? [1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/build/jenkins/tap-to-junit-xml?view=log [2] http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#prohibited -- Sean
