GPLv2 dependency issue #11

Open navulirs opened 6 years ago

We would like to use your library for enterprise use. We did a blackduck scanning on the release package and found that there is a GPLv2 or greater dependency with jnr-posix library., it sounds like a license incompatibility. Is this issue raised before?

Interested, too.

jnr-posix is released under a tri EPL/GPL/LGPL license so we can choose and avoid license incompatibility.
