can such files be committed to SVN repos?

[Samuel Kevin <lo...@gmail.com>]

hi, all:
    i am doing the last check on TServer. The source code now is free of
legal problem but i met some problem in makefile. The initial developers use
libtool which is a GNU tool under GPL license(
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/) and it generate some files like
libtool.sh to facilitate the "make" process. The problem is that the
libtool.sh contain the declaration of GPL license declaration. i wonder if
it could be uploaded to SVN. i know that GPL lib is forbbiden in Apache SVN,
but i want to confirm whether such files GPLed tool generate could be upload
to SVN?
regards,
Kevin

hi Kevin,

libtool,ltmain.sh,install-sh,autogen.sh,all these scripts are bulild scripts
for our program,
they are not part of our source code, I think we can submit them to SVN.
I see many LGPLed softwares, like SDL, include these bulild scripts in their
source code package.
Also httpd which is under ASL have these scripts in their package.
(they are include in httpd-2.2.13/build)
So I think we can submit them to SVN.

Regards,
Arthur
