Hi all,

Our repo has some bundled Python packages[1], one of which is
`pylint-0.21.0.tar.gz`, which is under the GPL v2 license. Since the
GPL v2 license is categorized as CatX[2], we cannot include `pylint`
in our repo.

We discussed this topic[3], such as removing these packages or using
`ruff` as an alternative to pylint. For now, I believe exploring an
alternative package to pylint can be the first step toward better
license compliance.

I just want to learn if any developers are using pylint during
Cloudberry development or testing. Then we can see the next steps.
