-----------------------------------------

             Summary: netty 3 file for Spark integration contains LGPL license
                 Key: TINKERPOP3-719
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP3-719
             Project: TinkerPop 3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build-release
         Environment: all
            Reporter: David Robinson
            Assignee: stephen mallette


The netty-3x jar contains an LGPL license as follows:

./hadoop-gremlin/target/hadoop-gremlin-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone/lib/netty-3.5.13.Final.jar

grep LICENSE.jboss-logging.txt  netty-3.5.13.Final.jar 

Looking at LICENSE.jboss-logging.txt, it shows this:

 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2.1, February 1999

 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
etc.

Unfortunately, netty 3 is a dependency because of Spark / Akka.

I am currently working with the Spark / Akka community to attempt to fix the problem on their end (Spark currently has this same GPL license due to Akka) so that we can fix the problem on our end.  Opening this as a reminder for us.

Tried netty 4, which solves the LGPL problem, but it is incompatible with the version of Spark supported by TinkerPop - and Spark/Akka doesn't support netty 4 yet to my knowledge.
