Hi Justin, Thanks for the feedback. Licensing is quite confusing and your inputs are appreciated. Since we are intending to make source only release and not include any jar or compiled binaries. Does this qualify only as dependency? In such case, we wouldn't have anything other than apache text in these files isnt't it? We cannot even depend on cat-x licensed libraries?

We know about the issue with GPL (Hibernate Entity Manager), and started a discussion thread a while ago, asking for some guidance. It was not really clear to us, if we really need to change it, given we release source only and only use Hibernate at runtime for our integration tests. Your comment is pretty clear about that now. In addition we thought it is fine to call for a vote and sort out this issue with upcoming releases throughout incubation, but maybe we are wrong here. Best, Markus .::YAGNI likes a DRY KISS::. ---------------------------------------- > Subject: Re: [VOTE] [FINERACT] 0.1.0.incubating for release > From: jus...@classsoftware.com > Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:42:09 +1000 > To: general@incubator.apache.org > > Hi, > > Little confusing if this is a call to vote on the incubator or not but either way this may help. > > If it is an incubator vote Id vote -1 (binding) due to LICENSE/NOTICE issues and possible inclusion of Category B/Category X licensed software in a release. > > I checked: > - Signature and hashes good (but you may want to upload your KEY to > http://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net) > - DISCLAIMER exists > - LICENSE has issues (see below) > - NOTICE also has issues (see below) > - Several java source files are missing headers > - There an unexpected binary file in the source release [5] > > Your mentors should be able to help out with assembling LICENSE and > NOTICE.
