I am writing to address a concern regarding the recent upgrade from Cassandra 3
to Cassandra 4.0.10. Specifically, I have noticed the introduction of an
additional dependency, namely "java-cup-runtime-11b-20160615.jar."
Upon further investigation, it has come to my attention that this dependency is
declared as GPL-Compatible. While I understand that introducing Apache
dependencies into GPL is generally permissible, the inclusion of a
GPL-Compatible dependency prompts some questions about the necessity of this
declaration.
It seems that the addition of the GPL-Compatible declaration might be an extra
layer of complexity, considering that Apache cannot include GPL dependencies.
However, in the case of "java-cup-runtime-11b-20160615.jar," which is
GPL-Compatible, it appears to be compliant with Apache licensing.
I would appreciate some clarification on whether this declaration is indeed
necessary and whether it could potentially be seen as an additional step that
may not be required.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe resolving this inquiry
will contribute to a better understanding of the dependencies introduced in
Cassandra 4.0.10 and ensure compliance with licensing standards.
