> We recently received a patch to add support for the Amazon Kinesis data s=
ource in Apache Spark, which uses the following library: https://github.com=
/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client licensed under the Amazon Software License: =
https://aws.amazon.com/asl/. Would it be okay to have a Maven dependency on=
 this library in an Apache project? From a quick look at the license, it se=
ems reasonable, but I=E2=80=99d like to double-check. The one restriction t=
hat may be strange is "3.3 Use Limitation. The Work and any derivative work=
s thereof only may be used or intended for use with the web services, compu=
ting platforms or applications provided by Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliat=
es, including Amazon Web Services, Inc.=E2=80=9D. However, it also says "de=
rivative works shall not include works that remain separable from, or merel=
y link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of, the Work", so I'm not sure o=
ur project would be a derivative work.
