[jira] Closed: (LEGAL-23) APR contains GPL-licensed libtool

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-23?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell closed LEGAL-23.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Justin explained this on legal-discuss@ - while libtool is GPLv2, its output is covered by the autoconf style license that we have listed as a category A license (ie: fine, just deal with the attributions).
