Use of scapy and possible Apache-GPL license conflict #494

Closed pegasusgh closed 2 years ago

kube-hunter is licensed under Apache 2.0. kube-hunter includes scapy. scapy is licensed under GPL 2.0. According to https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html, there is a license conflict. How does the kube-hunter project work around/through this?

Hi @pegasusgh . Thanks for raising this issue! kube-hunter did not work around the license conflict. but we are moving the problematic code under a new project.

Thank you for the confirmation, @danielsagi . Is there a timeframe for moving the code licensed under GPL? Does the project exist so that it can be followed by those interested?
