ISSUES

1. [New comment] Replacement Of SharpZipLib
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33955
User MarkusSchaber has commented on the issue:

"<p>IANAL, but AFAICS, the classpath exception invalidates the linker-argument in that GPL compatibility discussion. Linking does not create a derivate work in that case, so distribution should be fine.</p><p>OTOH, I don't oppose switching to DotNetZip. :-)</p"-----------------

2. [New comment] Replacement Of SharpZipLib
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33955
User JohnDavidson has commented on the issue:

"<p>The classpath exception has been clarified to only apply to binaries compiled with a GPL-based compiler, where that compiler adds a linked component. It does not include linking when the compiler is from Microsoft.</p"-----------------

3. [New comment] Replacement Of SharpZipLib
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33955
User MarkusSchaber has commented on the issue:

"<p>While we are at it, I'd prefer linking against the DotNetZip library instead of copying the source over into the IronPython solution.</p"-----------------

4. [New comment] Replacement Of SharpZipLib
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33955
User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"<p>SharpZipLib isn't used in IronPython at all - there are parts of DotNetZip used to implement bz2, and zlib.net (zlib/BSD) for the zlib module, but not SharpZipLib (for exactly the reason you specify - it's GPL).</p><p>As for copying the source over vs. linking, adding those libraries (and c#-sqlite) predates nuget, so that's something that could be revisited, but it's a different discussion.</p"-----------------

5. [Status update] Replacement Of SharpZipLib
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33955
User jdhardy has updated the issue:
Status has changed from Proposed to Closed with the following comment, 

"I cannot find any use of SharpZipLib in IronPython. If I missed it, please re-open with the file paths that reference it."
