Hello,
I'm new to the third-party IP requirements and a bit lost on what
I should do.
The context is a new PR [1] which adds optional feature and
depends on PySocks [2] library which is a non-eclipse project
using 3-clause BSD license.
After reading the Project Handbook and guidelines for the review
of third party dependencies I've few doubt:
* Should I determine if it's a "prerequisite" or a "works with" ?
(guidelines says it's the PMC that are "expected to make a
determination")
* It's
not clear for me in which case an optional dependency fall. This
dependency is not required for core functionality.
paho.mqtt.python library will works without PySocks, it's only
required to provide full function, i.e. when connecting thought an
HTTP/SOCKS proxy.
* Should I create the CQ request and above question will be
resolved during the CQ process or was this email the correct
process ?
Thanks for your help,
Pierre
