[jira] [Commented] (TINKERPOP-2711) Make gremlin-language optional as it brings in CDDL/GPL dependencies

["Stephen Mallette (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2711?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17496362#comment-17496362 ] 

Stephen Mallette commented on TINKERPOP-2711:
---------------------------------------------

hmm - i think CDDL is ok under Apache given the way we are using it:

https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html

but I think we should change to {{antrl4-runtime}} and avoid the extra dependencies in TinkerPop 3.5.3+. In the meantime I would simply exclude it, if you can't accept CDDL. I don't think it's required for anything TinkerPop is doing offhand. 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

>             Project: TinkerPop
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: server
>    Affects Versions: 3.6.0, 3.5.2
>            Reporter: Aaron Coady
>            Priority: Major
>
> Beginning with version 3.5.2 gremlin-core has a compile time dependency on gremlin-language and gremlin-language requires antlr4 which depends on javax.json
> javax.json is CDDL 1.1 & GPL 2.0 licensed
>  
> Our legal team has brought about concerns continuing to use this package based on some of the conditions in these licenses.
>  
> Is there a way to make this dependency optional so we can avoid a dependency on javax.json?
