libsignal-protocol-java / GPLv3
An application that utilizes Smack (A) and smack-omemo-signal (B) must be licensed under the GPLv3, since smack-omemo-signal uses libsignal-protocol-java (D), which is licensed under the GPLv3.
Since the Free Software Foundation considers the Apache License, Version 2.0 to be a free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GPL, smack-omemo-signal can implement smack interfaces and call smack methods (C).
