> Dear Apache Legal Affairs Committee,
> The [submarine|https://hadoop.apache.org/submarine/]] project community now has encountered a legal issue when we want to use the MariaDB java client as a dependency and distributed it.
> From LEGAL-462, it seems we cannot do this. But submarine is an open-source project may not fit in this. So I filed this Jira to double-confirm this.
>
> From the license of [MariaDB java client|https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/licensing-faq/#distributing-an-application-with-a-mariadb-connectorclient]], and the [FLOSS exception details, |https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-license/#the-floss-exception] see the snippets below.
> {code:java}
> Free software/open source applications
> If your application is Free software/open source and uses one of the licenses listed in the FLOSS exception, the GPL in the client library does not affect your application.
> {code}
> {code:java}
> 2. FLOSS License List
> License name Version(s)/Copyright Date
> Academic Free License 2.0
> Apache Software License 1.0/1.1/2.0
> Apple Public Source License 2.0
> {code}
> It seems that LGPL-2.1 allows Apache project like Submarine to link this MariaDB java client jar dependency and distribute with it, is my understanding correct?
> BR,
> Zhankun
