             Summary: Question re: using dual-licensed JavaScript plugin in blog site for Impala (incubating)
                 Key: LEGAL-285
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-285
             Project: Legal Discuss
          Issue Type: Question
            Reporter: David Knupp


Hopefully this is an appropriate place to get help on this issue.

We are setting up a development blog for the Impala (incubating) project. The static site generator we are using is MIT-licensed, but we have found one of the supporting JavaScript files is dual-licensed: MIT/GPL2.

According to the licenses text on the source repo:

"This software is licensed under a dual license system (MIT or GPL version 2). This means you are free to choose with which of both licenses (MIT or GPL version 2) you want to use this library."

https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/blob/master/MIT%20and%20GPL2%20licenses.md

Would the use of this file be compatible with the Apache License? Are we permitted to include it for the purposes of running our development blog?
