I do not have the links saved anywhere, but I have seen similar issues related to using ASL software as part of GPL software. This is more for software creators, so Debian/Ubuntu etc. probably are not affected. What I understood from those articles were that you cannot use a ASL library/package in a pure GPL software without exception clauses as mentioned in the post. > > As far as I see, both Debian and Ubuntu are not strictly GPL.
