Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-15080:
-----------------------------------------
Sean: you make some good points.
If it was just about build/test, then it's not being distributed, so the
distribution itself isn't tainted. I'd argue its like using GPL code in test
runs, *especially as there is no explicit build against that code in our
projects*. If we were using the library directly, we'd be more tightly coupled
and justification would be harder.
GPL is special though in that it transitively taints all code. I don't know
whether the morality of json "don't be evil" applies downstream. Especially if
you don't run the the OSS tests before a release. If, however, the maven
artifact of the test module is published, *and* that exports the json
requirement, we'd be passing on the problem downstream. A <provided> marker
would address that.
# we could do the relabelling of the json dependency as provided immediately,
so not keep it away from redistributables of any form
# while Sammi & others work on the OSS release. They've put a lot of effort
into this, and I don't want it to be held up just at the last minute....I know
how they'd feel
