Bug ID: 879615 Summary: maven-jflex-plugin: GPL code linked with GPL-incompatible libraries Product: Fedora Version: 18 Component: maven-jflex-plugin Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Reporter: mizdebsk@redhat.com Blocks: 182235 (FE-Legal)
Description of problem: maven-jflex-plugin is licensed under GPL (any version), but it links with GPL-incompatible code (at least classworlds, which is licensed under Plexus license [1], but it also likely that it is liked with CPL-licensed code of junit and some ASL 1.1 code somewhere).
Possible solutions: 1) rewrite the plugin from scratch (only ~400 lines of code) 2) remove the package from Fedora and port other packages not to depend on it 3) obtain GPL classpath exception from copyright holders (maven-jflex-plugin links to a GPL library - jflex, so the exception for this library would be needed too)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.3-8
