[LEGAL-153|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-153] is about using GPL 
code in test, it makes sense that  GPL could compromise ASL of our source 
release.
[LEGAL-207|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-207] the issue is closed 
and it should be discussed case by case. 
Using LGPL library in the test code doesn't compromise the ASL of our source 
release kit, if we don't include the LGPL library into our convenience binaries 
it should be fine.

Anyway, it could save us lot of time for the legal issue if we choose the third 
party dependency of ASL.

> I'm a PMC member of Beam project were I use cassandra-unit in the test 
> dependencies of a module just like you do in Cassandra CQL module: 
> https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.camel/camel-cassandraql/2.23.1
> The problem is that this lib is licensed under LGPLV3 which is a category X 
> unauthorized licence. I just figured out that it seems to be forbidden even

> I'm removing it from Beam. I went through some of the apache projects that 
> use cassandra-unit and I found Camel friends. Hence this advice.
