Follow up question, I assume our vote to accept the contribution is still acceptable as well as the software grant from Paremus. So, the only necessary action is to have Paremus submit a new, Apache compatible archive. Is that correct?

Hello,

I am trying to perform IP clearance on the Sigil project to Felix.

The contributed archive contains some embedded JAR files, one of which
is covered by AGPL, which is a modified version of GPL. I am told by
Paremus (the contributors) that only two minor classes depend on this
JAR and it could be easily removed from Sigil with very minor impact.

So, the question I have is, do we need them to submit a new archive that
doesn't contain this code or is it sufficient for us to strip this code
before importing the contributed code to SVN?

GPL [AGPL] is viral.  The entire archive is copyleft.

You need clear AL 2.0 submission by the original authors, with no pieces
of GPL code whatsoever.
