Are you saying that the karaf pdf manual is intended to be generated by non-commercial-licensed prince xml? That is definitely still a licensed copy of prince xml, and as I said, I don't think the license conditions would be ok for distributing the result from apache.
I also don't think that running the build should require manually downloading a commercial product. If there's some way to make it ok to distribute the manual can we at least make it so that you need to specify a profile to generate the pdf? thanks david jencks On Aug 24, 2011, at 11:16 PM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré wrote: > Hi David, > > you can use PrinceXML without license: > > "If this is a Non-commercial license, Licensee may download, install and use > the Software for Non-commercial Purposes on a computer that is accessible to > any number of end users.
