I am the current maintainer (albeit, not a great one, but still a maintainer) the phashion ruby gem (https://github.com/westonplatter/phashion).

I was notified by a user that the current MIT license of phashion may conflict with the GPL 3.0 license of the pHash software included in it. The argument goes that since phashion includes the source code of pHash as apart of its distribution, it needs to also use the GPL 3.0 license.

My question ... is there a licensing conflict between phashion and pHash? If so, what are the options?

Other question ... are there any open source lawyers/organizations I could talk to for free?

NOTE - I realize I'm asking a legal/IP question. I will not treat comments or opinions as legal advice.

I start a new position (contract-to-hire) tomorrow.

What is important to you as your start a new position?
