- Are we OK with saying "anything run by libtaskotron has to
be gpl3
compatible"? This gets into another area that I'm personally fuzzy
on (the line between derivative and usage) but I don't know of any
gpl2-only or agpl libraries that we'd want to use with libtaskotron
so this may end up being a non-issue entirely
As long as the checks don't link to us, and they simply return TAP output, there is no
such requirement, I believe. When it comes to linking, I'm not clear what that means
ATM.
I'd appreciate thoughts on the issues here. I'm leaning
towards
"re-license as gpl3 and take the code from ansible" but I could be
missing some complication here.
It was a long time ago I studied licensing stuff and I don't remember much. But as a
rule of thumb, I have no objection against GPL3+. And it shouldn't prevent us from
using GPL2+ libraries and code, just GPL2-only, I believe. So the impact doesn't seem
that bad.
