Hello,

it seems that the pom.xml of fc-server make a compile time dependency of llrp-adaptor

- It seems that this dependency is not used at compile time, so we could remove it.
- It seems to be more a runtime or a optional dependency no?

As llrp-adaptor is GPL'ed and fc-server is LGPL-ed, it is not possible to say that fc-server is LGPL'ed if it depends on a GPL software at compile time.

What do you think? We should remove this dependency as a "compile time dependency" from fc-server, shouldn't we?

    oh sorry, it seems that there IS a compile dependency.

    So isn't it an issue?

    espacially files in the package org.fosstrak.ale.server.readers.llrp
    can't be under LGPL. Am I wrong?

    It's seems appart from these 3 files, LGPL is possible
