Subject: Compatible licenses for Traffic Server
Reply-To: andrew....@yahoo-inc.com
Hello,
I'm putting together the LICENSE and NOTICE files for the initial
commit of Traffic Server. At the same time we are working to gut
the code of commercial licenses that cannot be released open
source. Curious to know if there are some open source licenses that
are incompatible with Apache License 2.0 that we should also take
into account?
Here is our list of open source licenses for source code that is
embedded in our software:
GNU Lesser General Public License 2.0
GNU Lesser General Public License 2.1
GNU General Public License 2.0
Mozilla Public License 1.1
NetBSD (BSD with advertising clause)
MIT
OpenSSL
We may be able to update the code that has the NetBSD (BSD with
advertising clause) to a newer NetBSD license (without advertising
clause).
I tried searching for some type of license matrix on the Apache
Incubator pages for guidance and I came across a page about GPL
compatibility. Seems to me GPL 2.0 is incompatible--is it also the
same for LGPL 2.0 and LGPL 2.1?
Cheers,
Andrew
