Licensing issue with sqlbuilder?

Hi,

I noticed that we are using the sqlbuilder by openhms inside gora-sql.
The sqlbuilder is licensed under LGPL-2.1 which I think is in category X
according to this http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html.

>From what I understand, while in incubator this is not a real problem, but
I think its an issue we need to address since we are about to graduate.

Can our mentors please clarify this?

Thanks.

Hi,

You are right that we should remove that library before graduation. We have
listed this library to be removed at the incubator proposal, since from a
technical stand point, I was not able to fully utilize sqlbuilder, and
there is little need for it. I have created
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-74 for this.

Thanks,
Enis
