[jira] Commented: (STANBOL-25) Remove LGPL HERMIT dependency

Posted by "Andreas Kuckartz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-25?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12976062#action_12976062 ] 

Andreas Kuckartz commented on STANBOL-25:
-----------------------------------------

While
http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x
states that LGPL-licensed software must not be "included" in Apache "products" that does not automatically seem to imply that it would not be ok to use Maven to access another non-Apache repository delivering an LGPL-licensed library.

(Another question is if the LGPL is really incompatible with the third Apache Software License Criterion: "The license must not place restrictions on the distribution of larger works, other than to require that the covered component still complies with the conditions of its license." The page linked above states that it is incompatible but another Apache page states: "We avoid GPLv3 software because merely linking to it is considered by the GPLv3 authors to create a derivative work. " http://apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html The situation is not the same for the LGPL)

Enrico Daga commented on STANBOL-25:
------------------------------------

The Hermit dependency contains itself a third party LGPL library (jautomata, [1]). 

We can leave hermit as an optional functionality, relying on a new Jena based reasoner as default. See also STANBOL-185.

This have also been discussed in the list[2]
