--------------------------------------
Not sure.
[This page|http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html] suggests that
even linking to GPL licensed software is not allowed because "it is considered
by the GPLv3 authors to create a derivative work".
> Add flink-benchmark with compliant licenses again

> Key: FLINK-2973
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2973
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Build System
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Suneel Marthi
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0.0

>
> We recently created the Maven module {{flink-benchmark}} for micro-benchmarks
> and ported most of the existing micro-benchmarks to the Java benchmarking
> framework JMH. However, JMH is part of OpenJDK and under GPL license which is
> not compatible with the AL2.
> Consequently, we need to remove this dependency and either revert the porting
> commits or port the benchmarks to another benchmarking framework. An
> alternative could be [Google's Caliper|https://github.com/google/caliper]
> library which is under AL2.
