<div dir="ltr">Hi Dana,<div><br></div><div>I would like to clarify under which license terms pulp plugins \ derivative work are eligible to be published. </div><div>IANAL.

If Galaxy project released under terms of Apache 2.0 license wants to use pulp as a direct dependency, meaning</div><div>subclassing <i>pulpcore</i> or <i>pulpcore-plugin</i> classes, it creates GPL license violation due to GPL license requirement to be licensed under GPL </div><div>for all covered (derivative) work.</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:overpass,sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-size:14px;text-transform:uppercase"><span>OLEKSANDR</span> <span>SAPRYKIN</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:overpass,sans-serif;font-size:10px;margin:0px 0px 4px;text-transform:uppercase"><span>SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER</span><span style="color:rgb(170,170,170);margin:0px"></span></p><p style="font-family:overpass,sans-serif;margin:0px;font-size:10px;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><a href="https://www.redhat.com/" style="color:rgb(0,136,206);margin:0px" target="_blank">Red Hat <span><br><br></span></a></p><table border="0" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:overpass,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><tbody><tr><td width="100px"><a href="https://red.ht/sig" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.redhat.com/files/brand/email/sig-redhat.png" width="90" height="auto"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 5, 2019 at 9:56 PM Dana Walker <<a href="mailto:dawalker@redhat.com">dawalker@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" id="gmail-m_-5603823819012628081gmail-docs-internal-guid-7659f968-7fff-514e-dd7d-f53f1659d002"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Hello everyone!</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Thus far, Pulp 3 has been operating under the GPLv2 license.
