GitHub user edespino edited a comment on the discussion: [Ideas] Remove Bundled 
Python Packages in Cloudberry Main Repo

@tuhaihe I'm curious whether anyone is currently using pylint during 
development or testing. Personally, I'm not aware of it being in active use. It 
might be worth cross-posting this to dev@cloudberry.apache.org to check if 
anyone is relying on pylint. If it turns out that someone is, we can evaluate 
whether it's feasible to switch to [ruff](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) (a 
compatible Python linter under the MIT license) or another alternative that 
aligns with the Apache License policy.

On the other hand, if no one responds or confirms usage, we should consider 
removing pylint, since its GPv2 license is not compatible. I’m happy to help 
with the removal and leave a note in the repo explaining the decision, along 
with a suggestion to adopt a license-compatible linter if needed.

As for the other tools, I suggest leaving them in place for now until someone 
has the time and interest to review their licensing and relevance to the 
project.
