spark packages

[Debasish Das <de...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is it possible to add GPL/LGPL code on spark packages or it must be
licensed under Apache as well ?

I want to expose Professor Tim Davis's LGPL library for sparse algebra and
ECOS GPL library through the package.

Thanks.
Deb

That's the nice thing about Spark packages. It is just a package index for
libraries and applications built on top of Spark and not part of the Spark
codebase, so it is not restricted to follow only ASF-compatible licenses.

Yup netlib lgpl right now is activated through a profile...if we can reuse
the same idea then csparse can also be added to spark with a lgpl flag. But
again as Sean said its tricky. Better to keep it on spark packages for
users to try.

I dont believe we are talking about adding things to the Apache project,
but incidentally LGPL is not OK in Apache projects either.

I thought LGPL is okay but GPL is not okay for Apache project.

Yes - spark packages can include non ASF licenses.
