Applicability of licenses

[rahulmohang]

Hi,

In the file, 'https://github.com/gradle-nexus/publish-plugin/blob/v1.3.0/LICENSE', there are a few licenses mentioned as from 'Gradle Subcomponents'. Do those licenses apply to any part of the source code of publish-plugin?

Should we be compliant to the licenses as well when using publish-plugin?

The reason for the question is that one of the licenses is LGPL v2.1 or later, and Apache v2.0 and LGPL v2.1 or later are incompatible to each other.

Hmm, good catch @rahulmohang . I wasn't aware of those records, the file is a leftover from https://github.com/marcphilipp/nexus-publish-plugin which is this project derived from.

GNPP itself is licensed under the terms of the Apache License 2.0. The other records refer to "the GNU Trove library included by the Kotlin embeddable compiler" (and some other classes used by it).

@marcphilipp Do you remember, if you put those entries on purpose, or rather it was copied from some Kotlin project and it is ok to replace the LICENSE file with the plain Apache 2.0 license?
