HAWQ licensing questions
Forking this from the VOTE thread:

I see that you already addresses the fact that PL/Perl seems
to be subject to the exception documented under LEGAL-79.
On top of that, I'd like to add that as it turns out, ASF has never
formally classified Perl/Artistic license. The most informative
thread on this can be found at:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-64
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-86
The later one talks specifically about JSON use case as seems
to be the case for HAWQ.
Given this, I propose that we declare PL/Perl to be exempt (do
nothing about it). And we refactor JSON out for now.
Sounds reasonable?
Thanks,
Roman.

FYI: I have created the following issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-1065
A PR has been created and is available for review:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/922
This completes the outstanding issues related to the Perl Artistic License.

+1 Roman - Sounds like a reasonable approach to declare PL/Perl's ppport.h
file to be exempt. For tracking purposes, I will file an issue and update
LICENSE file with the exception.
