Re: [PAX-JDBC] Remove pax-jdbc-mysql bundle from the org.ops4j.pax.jdbc Karaf feature due to GPL concerns (PAXJDBC-128)

2018-04-10 Thread Grzegorz Grzybek 
Hello again

I finally have time to investigate this issue.

I dug through MySQL source code, licenses and READMEs and found:

   - https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j/blob/release/5.1/README
   - https://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/
   - https://oss.oracle.com/licenses/universal-foss-exception/ (starting 
   from version 8.x of the driver)

Of course IANAL, but I think this allows us to "use" (in general meaning - 
and mvn:mysql/mysql-connector-java/${mysql.version} 
is very very gentle kind of usage) the driver. Here's the important part of 
FAQ answer:


Open source software projects and other developers can also use and 
> distribute open source applications with the GPL-licensed MySQL Client 
> Libraries under the terms of the FOSS License Exception without causing the 
> entire derivative work to be subject to the GPL.
>

FOSS License List include different kinds of ASL, so I really think we're 
safe here. Michael - wdyt?

OK, cool; so we could bump Pax JDBC master from it's current 1.2.2-SNAPSHOT 
to 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT for this...

Would someone like to create a 2.0.0 in the Versions lists in JIRA, so that 
we could set PAXJDBC-128 to it? (And perhaps remove the un-used 1.3.0 ?)

OK cool, so I could raise a PR which proposes this removal and, in the same 
PR, I bump the current 1.2.2-SNAPSHOT in all Pax JDBC master pom.xml to 
2.0.0-SNAPSHOT in the first of 2 commits? 

Perhaps as a first step, could someone create such a 2.0.0 version in JIRA 
for Pax JDBC? Or add to me some admin group so that I can do so. (BTW there 
is currently 1.3.0 version in JIRA, but master is 1.2.x and there is no 1.3 
branch, and no open issues, so perhaps also remove that version, while 
we're at it?)

Breaking changes are fine, as long as we bump the major version for this.
