Hi all QGIS developers, I'm submitting a new plugin: https://github.com/enricofer/gdrive_provider that makes use of external libraries published under Apache v2 licence
As far as I understand <https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html> The Free Software Foundation <http://www.fsf.org/> considers > <http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/#apache2> the Apache License, > Version 2.0 <http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0> to be a free > software <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html> license, compatible > <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses> > with version 3 of the GPL <http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl.html>. > The Software Freedom Law Center <http://www.softwarefreedom.org/> > provides practical advice > <http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-collaboration.html> > for developers about including permissively licensed source. > Apache 2 software can therefore be included in GPLv3 projects, because the > GPLv3 license accepts our software into GPLv3 works. > So I should release the plugin with GPLv3 that I understand is compatible with with plugin licencing policy ("GPLv2 or greater") <http://blog.qgis.org/2016/05/29/licensing-requirements-for-qgis-plugins/> The plugin is provided with a checkbox that makes aware the user about the Google Drive Terms of Service. Do You think that GPLv3 licensing and Google Drive Terms of Service disclaimer suffits? Regards. Enrico Ferreguti
