> 2. Do as @pjfanning (mainly because Hibernate License will be eventually updated and this will be a temporary fix) proposed. Do not distribute the binary (set the dependency as provided in the pom) and include instructions to add it. > It's ok for a pom to link to an LGPL jar(not ideal, but ok). The issue is the zips and tar.gz files in https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/kie/10.0.0/ - these cannot include the LGPL jars. They can include scripts to download the LGPL jars if the jar is needed for the build, with instructions detailing the license issue. I would also like to highlight fat jars (often these are shaded jars) - these are jars that include many classes including 3rd party classes. If you include LGPL classes in these jars, then you have caused a copyleft issue with that fat jar. The licensing issue is that you can't ship classes or jars that are LGPL but you can link to jars (eg a pom dependency). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
