Hi all,
I'm looking for details about Geonetwork's licensing.
I've read on the website and in the source code that Geonetwork is licensed under GPLv2, but it includes serveral libraries that are licensed under Apache v2 (like log4J, for instance).
These two licenses are considered incompatible by the FSF, and the FSF also considers that dynamically linking a library creates a dervivative work of both the application and the library. Hence, the whole work should be licensed under GPLv2, which is not possible.
Could someone let me know how this point has been dealt with? Was is it considered that dynamically linking does not create a derived work? Or have those libraries been dual-licensed by their copyright owners?
Thanks & best regards,
Camille
