The Avro distribution is Apache 2.0 licensed. Does that license apply to
everything included in the distribution? Specifically, for the C#
version there is the newtonsoft.dll. Does that also fall under the
Apache 2 license when used as part of Avro?

Unfortunately, we have to clear usage with some legal folks!!

thanks,
Peter

Newtonsoft.dll is distributed under a BSD-style license which is less
restrictive than the Apache license.  This license is included at the
end of the LICENSE.txt file distributed with Avro.
