-------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade jython to 2.5.3 (legal concern)
Key: PIG-3256
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3256
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Daniel Dai
Assignee: Daniel Dai
Fix For: 0.12
When we review the legal documents with Microsoft for Windows work, here is the
recommend from lawyer:
Jython 2.5.2 redistributes an external LGPL component (JNA) in a manner that
puts Jython out of compliance with the LGPL. As such dependent components like
Pig are also arguably out of compliance with the LGPL.
It appears that this has been quietly found and fixed by the Jython guys, as
version 2.5.3 does not include the JNA component. However the status of 2.5.2
with respect to the LGPL and Apache legal is still unclear.
The easiest way to remediate this whole problem is to simply move Pig to Jython
2.5.3 and remove the question.
