> Due to incompatibility Apache projects should not use GPL dependencies. However in this particular case Virtuoso has the following exemption in one of its license files (https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/blob/develop/6/LICENSE):
> Client Protocol Driver exemptions
> ---------------------------------
>     In addition, as a special exemption, OpenLink Software gives
>     permission to use the unmodified client libraries (ODBC, JDBC,
>     ADO.NET, OleDB, Jena, Sesame and Redland providers) in your own
>     application whether open-source or not, with no obligation to use
>     the GPL on the resulting application. In all other respects you 
>     must abide by the terms of the GPL.
> Does this allow us to use the Virtuoso JDBC driver?
