[Fwd: [openstack-dev] How to handle forking of projects]
Hey Please see the question below about a GPL licensed bundled javascript library in Horizon Cheers, Mark. -------- Forwarded Message --------

Hey, I came to this question over the the following review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/31725/
The situation is: Horizon ships a bundled library query-table-sorter, which hasn't seen a release since ages. The proposed commit changes the bundled lib, effectively creating a fork.
Is that allowed/desired, or how should we handle this? As a side note, that plugin is licensed as GPL (without a version) and MIT.
Are we allowed to bundle this at all?
Matthias

This is the old jQuery redundant disjunctive MIT|GPL dual-license, which is equivalent to the MIT license. As such there should be no legal objection to bundling it based on the license. - Richard
