Regarding Licence's question, we will complete the repair as soon as possible 
before voting.

Yuck. That’s a mess. That is one very large diff.

I see a few files related to AES the were GPL converted to Apache which not 
allowed.
Copyrights were changed too which is also incorrect.

Changes to this file 
be/src/http/mongoose.h<https://github.com/baidu/palo/commit/6486be64c319fe0beb8c6b4430c1662de54f182e#diff-586168bd25cfbf3bc8bc1b52abc4206c>
 violate license and copyright of Sergey Lyubka

GitHub makes you expand each diff after awhile.

There are dependency licenses that might be issues too.

These licenses have not been evaluated by LEGAL.

AKA MIT-CMU

Lots of work in evaluating licenses.

Ouch.

The copyright in question was attached to code from the source code for
mySQL. There is no way that code can be in an Apache project.

Given the cut and paste history, it seems like it will require a very
detailed audit of code history or web searches to find where the original
code came from. The my_aes.c and .h files, for instance, have no hint in
their history that they came from GPL'ed code.

Yeah. Lot’s of oversight.

If we accept this proposal we need a Mentor who has time to help with this mess.

I don’t know that I have the time to lead that effort. Anyone?

Regards,
Dave

+1. Also briefly browsing the code I found suspicious commits like this
one:

https://github.com/baidu/palo/commit/6486be64c319fe0beb8c6b4430c1662de54f182e

... in which a GPL license copyright by Oracle was "fixed" to be an Apache
license copyright Baidu.

So if this project does enter incubation I think we should be extra careful
to audit the origins of all of the source code.
