Sean Owen commented on SPARK-5669:
----------------------------------
Aha, that's a good point. I'm still not clear if this exception covers the
usage in Spark, given the definition of "Eligible Compilation Process":
{code}
A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or with
other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any work based on
GCC. ...
{code}
Here the Target Work is just put together with bundling. It doesn't seem quite
in the spirit of this exemption as I understand it, but it's done without using
any work based on GCC," at least I think.
Well, regardless, my thinking was that there was already momentum to
standardize on one library, so erring on the side of caution regarding
licenses, and excising JBLAS also solves that problem. Also, since 1.3 we don't
even use the native libraries anyway. Do you think it's best to continue down
this road anyway, removing the native libs at least and likely JBLAS?

> Unfortunately the libgfortran and libgcc libraries included for Windows are
> not licensed in a way that's compatible with Spark and the AL2 -- LGPL at
> least.
> It's easy to exclude them. I'm not clear what it does to running on Windows;
> I assume it can still work but the libs would have to be made available
> locally and put on the shared library path manually. I don't think there's a
> package manager as in Linux that would make it easily available. I'm not able
> to test on Windows.
> If it doesn't work, the follow-up question is whether that means JBLAS has to
> be removed on the double, or treated as a known issue for 1.3.0.
