@donraab apologies you are correct, EDL is available as an option and classed as category A by FINOS, we have just not configured it in our license scanning setup. I had not come across EDL before and was not aware it had different terms from EPL, until now. Still I agree with @lidavidm - removing the dependency is a good idea anyway to keep the tree small. Managing version updates, conflicts and security patches in the dependency tree is a big issue for us, for this reason keeping the tree as lean as possible is one of our guiding design principles. Obviously there is a balance to be struck, we try to stick to self-contained package families where possible, so bringing in a foundational lib like this from a different family would go against the grain for us in this particular project. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
