#481: License compatibility check ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by elliottt): * cc: trevor@… (added) Comment: I've taken a first pass at this, performing a check on the licenses of the dependencies only during the configure step. The check is only on direct dependencies of the package being configured; if the package being configured is licensed BSD3, and it has a dependency that uses the GPL, a warning will be emitted. The same goes for the LGPL, though I have only implemented it that way as I wasn't sure if the cross- module optimization issues had been resolve in general for LGPL packages. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/481#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
