Hi Cocooners Before I start: Sorry to be a PITA to bring up Rhino again. ;-)
Batik is starting to plan a new release and Rhino popped up in the back of my mind. I went looking in your codebase to see what you did with Rhino since I last checked. Turns out that Cocoon still lists Rhino as under the MPL 1.1 in both Trunk and the 2.1.x branch. And that's clearly wrong: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/rhino/src/org/mozilla/javascript/Script.java And as you know this whole thing is further complicated by the fact that the NPL is currently de-facto an excluded license which means that neither Cocoon nor Batik are allowed to distribute or simply download (through Maven without alerting the user) Rhino. http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html#transition-examples-npl Means both our projects would actually have to remove Rhino and make sure they run without it. http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html#options Cliff wrote about certain options in March on legal-discuss (Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). Nobody followed up on that. And it looks like both our projects have ignored the third-party licence policy so far concerning this issue. Any ideas how to proceed? Shall we raise it again on legal-discuss? Has there been any progress in trying to convinve the Rhino project to switch to the MPL? Jeremias Maerki
