             Summary: Incompatible licensed GPL library org.rhq.helpers:rhq-pluginAnnotations used as a dependency
                 Key: ISPN-2179
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2179
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 5.1.5.FINAL
            Reporter: Sergiu Dumitriu
            Assignee: Manik Surtani


The RHQ project is licensed under the GPL 2.0, which means that any project that uses RHQ libraries becomes GPL. Not only does this contradict Infinispan's license, but it's also a hidden dependency on a GPL library that makes any other project that thinks it's only using LGPL-compatible libraries actually a GPL project.
