[Fedora-legal-list] Combining copyrights on Erlang source files

[Jason L Tibbitts III]

A question occurred to me after doing a review recently about whether
Erlang source is compiled and linked together like C source or whether
the source files remain separate like, say, Python.  The issue is an
Erlang package where some source files are LGPLv3+ but one is GPLv2+.  I
took the safe route and assumed that the final result is GPLv3+, but
unfortunately I don't quite know enough about either Erlang or the
actual legal threshold at which the sources are considered to be
commingled.  When I look at the compiled application, it looks as if
each of the .erl files gets turned into a .beam file, and those files
look to be kept separate in the final package.

The ticket, with a package you can build, is at
