Licensing mismatch

[hyandell]

I wanted to flag that the repository marks its licensing as Apache-2.0, but contains the following LGPL-2.1 licensed file:

https://github.com/hibernate/quarkus-local-cache/blob/main/src/main/java/org/infinispan/quarkus/hibernate/cache/PutFromLoadValidator.java

I'm unsure if that's intended, so wanted to raise the issue.

Looks like this file was copied from Infinispan, another ASL 2 licensed project, where it also has this header.

I was able to trace back the history of this file to the Hibernate ORM project, which I guess explains the license.

Anyway, from CONTRIBUTING.md (emphasis mine):

All original contributions to this project are licensed under the
ASL - Apache License,
version 2.0 or later, or, if another license is specified as governing the file or directory being
modified, such other license.

@Sanne We might want to relicense this file, though, both here and in Infinispan.

I think we need a clear license for the component as a whole. And if there is one LGPL file, it cannot be ASL, even if the rest is ASL.

So let's relicense this file.

For info and trivia, it is a possibility to define a component distribution under one license and have some of the files under a different one. Or so I remember from conversations with our lawyer friends.
But it tends to bring confusion so +1 to re licensing the file.

Highly depends on the license. With LGPL and GPL, my guess is that you have to make the whole component LGPL/GPL.
