So you want to convince me that if you say the GPL word while looking at a
code then the code is cursed and you can't include it in ASL project?
I already said that I'm not interested in a generic legal discussion, now:
if you think you have the knowledge then download the contributed patch
and contribute us a detailed opinion about what code creates licesing
issues and why.
Easy, easy!
I said in general, not specific, that code does not need to include GPL-code
to create - let's be more specific - a license violation.
Or in other words, an ASF project should not actively support (e. g. by API)
GPL-covered code.
If none of it involves your plans, that is fine. And if you are 100 % sure
what you are doing won't create problems, even better; so you only have to
convince ASF-members.
