Apache Ignite's SQL engine is tightly coupled with the H2 database engine [1] that provides basic parsing and query execution capabilities.
H2 is licensed under dual MPL 2.0 and EPL 1.0 [2], thus Ignite community uses H2 binary artifacts for the development needs and doesn't have H2 source code in Ignite codebase. However, these days Ignite SQL needs to go beyond H2 capabilities and we're planning to fork H2 and produce H2 binaries from there for Ignite releases. To comply with legal requirements, our community thinks to host the fork in a separate Github repo. Are there any alternatives? Is there a legal way to host the fork in ASF repos?
