                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-628
             Project: Legal Discuss

          Components: Policy Question
            Reporter: Charles Givre


Hello, 
I'm the PMC chair for Apache Drill. 

I'm interested in adding an extension to Drill which relies on an external library that is licensed under L-GPL3.   The library in question is [https://github.com/isac322/OneDrive-SDK-java. |https://github.com/isac322/OneDrive-SDK-java]

This is not a core functionality to Drill and can be excluded without compromising any functionality other than this optional feature.  I'm wondering:
 #  Would it be acceptable to include this with Drill, but only with a flag at compile time?  IE: The library would not be included in the binaries and would only be included with an explicit flag.
 # If that doesn't work, do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!
