Including GPL code in the source RPM only, for an ASL 2.0 package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm currently packaging python-subunit at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/908842

This is an ASL 2.0 project, but there is a single
python file used at build time only that is GPLv2.
I.E. this file is shipping in the tarball (srpm),
but removed from the rpms.

Is this a valid thing to do, or do we need
a tarball with this file removed?

Note even if I wanted to license the package
as "ASL 2.0 and GPLv2", I don't think that's possible,
as they're incompatible licenses:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html

thanks,
Pádraig.
