Barbican has a plugin called dogtag[1]. This plugin imports "pki". While I tried to add pki as an extras requirement[2] I realized that it's dogtag-pki[3] that is required and not pki[4]. Using pki leads to an import error because there is code from dogtag-pki needed that is not in pki. So I started to look into dogtag-pki and wanted to add it to the global requirements repository but while doing that I realized that dogtag-pki's license is GPLv2. And according to[5] this is incompatible.
How to handle this? Should the dogtag plugin be removed from barbican's source tree?
The Dogtag project is looking into relicensing dogtag-pki under the LGPL. Richard
