Oh my, I've missed that can of worms when I can suggesting DotNetZip. Reading https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ms-pl , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-PL#Microsoft_Public_License_.28Ms-PL.29 , https://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting-Started and a couple of discussions on licenses.open-source.general , my understanding is that NAnt can redistribute DotNetZip on two conditions:
- DotNetZip is distributed as an unchanged binary - it's marked as covered by MS-PL, not GPLv2 If my understanding is wrong, then NAnt is already in a legal problem, since the distribution contains binary versions of NDoc and NUnit ( http://nant.sourceforge.net/license.html ) which are not provided under the GPLv2 license (they use a GPLv2 compatible license, but the interpretation of GPL that would prevent NAnt from using DotNetZip requires all components to be re-licensed as GPLv2(3), which is in conflict with the current situation).
