OK, the interface is there, Ant's Task class. I'm just a bit kidding here. Point is that people want to see an SSH task in Ant but all suitable libraries seem to be LGPLed (or worse). We have already suggested that these libraries ship with tasks of their own. Adding some SSH library abstraction to Ant wouldn't make live easier for the libary developers IMHO. So in this particular situation, you don't gain anything. In a broader context, the strategy you describe may help, I agree. > So the project concerning can just add "Apache Ant can make direct > use of our library without having to redistribute their code under > the terms of section 6" Sure. Or they could simply switch to a "better" license directly 8-) Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
