IP clearance question
Hello,
I am trying to perform IP clearance on the Sigil project to Felix.
The contributed archive contains some embedded JAR files, one of which
is covered by AGPL, which is a modified version of GPL. I am told by
Paremus (the contributors) that only two minor classes depend on this
JAR and it could be easily removed from Sigil with very minor impact.
So, the question I have is, do we need them to submit a new archive that
doesn't contain this code or is it sufficient for us to strip this code
before importing the contributed code to SVN?
Thanks.

There was no checksum mentioned in the grant, just a project
description. So, I guess we are fine with a new archive.

IMHO the vote, yes and - providing that it doesn't include a checksum
- the grant should be ok too

Follow up question, I assume our vote to accept the contribution is
still acceptable as well as the software grant from Paremus. So, the
only necessary action is to have Paremus submit a new, Apache compatible
archive. Is that correct?

GPL [AGPL] is viral. The entire archive is copyleft.
You need clear AL 2.0 submission by the original authors, with no pieces
of GPL code whatsoever.
