Sterling Hughes commented on MYNEWT-29:
---------------------------------------
Hey Justin,
Removing this one is unfortunately a huge pain. We depend on
github.com/spf13/viper, which depends on yaml.v2, which has the LGPL license.
This license is LGPL with an exception for static linking. This would not be
too onerous on our users:
- Our users are releasing products with the Mynewt Operating System, the newt
build tool is used to create those artifacts, so the actual work product would
not be affected.
- The newt build tool would not include any source or APIs from the LGPL
software, and the package which does depend on this software, does not seem to
think _THEY_ fall under the LGPL
- I can remove Godeps from our directory (users can use go get to download
packages), in which case we will not be redistributing the offending license
And then for beta2, we can go ahead and look to replace this yaml parser with a
better one. Does this seem reasonable?
