[Savannah-register-public] [task #14536] Submission of LibreRead

[Pavel Kharitonov]

Follow-up Comment #10, task #14536 (project administration):

Thank you for clarifications!

> There is no Elasticsearch code I'm including in my project.

Generally, you don't need to include any code to
form a combined executable
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLPlugins>
you said you basically link to it, and it's sufficient.

The license of Elasticsearch may or may not impose conditions
on programs that use it; but it's a dependency, and it must
be free in order to host a project that depends on it on Savannah.
When I download Elasticsearch sources from GitHub,
I see in core/licenses/lucene-NOTICE.txt:


JUnit (junit-4.10) is licensed under
the Common Public License v. 1.0
See http://junit.sourceforge.net/cpl-v10.html


The CPL is GPL-incompatible
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CommonPublicLicense10>.


The KStem stemmer in
analysis/common/src/org/apache/lucene/analysis/en
was developed by Bob Krovetz and Sergio Guzman-Lara
(CIIR-UMass Amherst) under the BSD-license.


The Original BSD License is GPL-incompatible
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OriginalBSD>.

core/licenses/spatial4j-NOTICE.txt refers to the
Eclipse Public License <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#EPL>,
which is GPL-incompatible.

At last, core/licenses/jts-LICENSE.txt is the text of the LGPLv3.
In other words, the authors of Elasticsearch used some code without
permission.  This technically means that the users aren't allowed to copy,
modify and redistribute Elasticsearch.
