[jira] [Created] (LEGAL-207) May Apache projects have dependencies
with prohibited licenses in test code?
Steve Rowe created LEGAL-207:
--------------------------------
Summary: May Apache projects have dependencies with prohibited licenses in test code?
Key: LEGAL-207
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-207
Project: Legal Discuss
Issue Type: Question
Reporter: Steve Rowe
Spinoff from LEGAL-206.
Are ASF projects allowed to distribute test source code that will not compile without a 3rd party dependency that has a prohibited license?
For example, Java test code that includes lines of the form:
{code:java}
import com.example.Myclass;
...
Myclass clazz = new Myclass();
{code}
While most products are unlikely include compiled test source code with convenience binaries (though some projects do, including Apache Lucene's "Lucene Core" and Solr products), the ASF distributes source, so non-inclusion in binary distributions should not affect the answer here.
This question is not directly addressed anywhere that I can find.
