Charles Oliver Nutter commented on HBASE-3374:
----------------------------------------------
The author of jffi and jaffl has asked if Sun's CDDL would be an acceptable
license under which he could dual-license jffi, jaffl, and other projects. Is
CDDL acceptable?
> Our jruby jar has *GPL jars in it; fix

> The latest JRuby's complete jar bundles *GPL jars (JNA and JFFI among
> others). It looks like the functionality we depend on -- the shell in
> particular -- makes use of these dirty jars so they are hard to strip. They
> came in because we (I!) just updated our JRuby w/o checking in on what
> updates contained. JRuby has been doing this for a while now (1.1.x added
> the first LGPL). You have to go all the ways back to the original HBase
> checkin, HBASE-487, of JRuby -- 1.0.3 -- to get a JRuby w/o *GPL jars.
> Plan is to try and revert our JRuby all the ways down to 1.0.3 before
> shipping 0.90.0. Thats what this issue is about.
> We should also look into moving off JRuby in the medium to long-term. Its
> kinda awkward sticking on an old version that is no longer supported. I'll
> open an issue for that.
