As I understand our current license situation, you won't be eligible
for big-tent if you depend on GPLv3 code.
From the requirements " * Project must have no library dependencies
which effectively restrict
how the project may be distributed or deployed
"
So I'm also strongly inclined to recommend you speak to the legal list
about the implications here. Using a GPLv3 tool via the CLI is very
different (by the GPL's design) to using it as a library.
