Sean Mackrory commented on HADOOP-15080:
----------------------------------------
{quote}I agree. It's like saying "we need gcc to build the native code on
linux". We do, we just don't redistribute it.{quote}
I'm still uncomfortable with the comparison to gcc, which is what I don't think
is being understood on LEGAL-349: they're both category X licenses, but the GPL
restricts distribution, and json-lib is not approved because it restricts
usage. I feel like if this library was GPL it would actually be fair game for
use as a test dependency. But it's academic now - it sounds like we're all in
agreement on the right paths to pursue both immediately and long-term.
