> Key: LEGAL-392
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-392
> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: Gary Yao
> Priority: Major
>
> Hello Legal Affairs Committee,
> We want to add a project to the Apache Flink repository that has Jepsen 0.1.8 as
> a dependency. The project is an optional tool that can be used to test Flink. It
> is neither needed to build Flink, nor it would be shipped in the binary release.
> Jepsen 0.1.8 is licensed under a joke license called the "SOLIPSISTIC ECLIPSE
> PUBLIC LICENSE" [1]. Beginning with Jepsen 0.1.10, the license changed to the
> Eclipse Public License [2], which makes it unambiguously clear that the library
> can be included as a dependency in ASF projects. However, we want to avoid
> upgrading to version 0.1.10 due to issues with that version.
> Assuming that we want to stick with 0.1.8, our questions are as follows:
> # Is it acceptable to license the code, which depends on Jepsen, under the Apache License?
> # Is it acceptable to include the code, which depends on Jepsen, in the git repository?
> # Is it acceptable to include the code, which depends on Jepsen, in the source release?
> We found that Apache Kudu does all the things above [3] but we are not sure if
> this is compliant.
> Thanks for any help!
