Hi Jacques,
Can you refer to the discussion thread and / or JIRA issue in which Marvin
and Shane mentioned this info (if it is public) so we can learn and
understand the legal basis of this decision?
Regards,

Marvin and Shane think that this file should not be delivered with OFBiz
releases. I agree and will remove it.
I see then no ways to save the usage of the ChartReport.ftl and Report.ftl
which rely on birt.tld. Hence the *HTML* demo reports associated need to be
removed (PDF demos are OK).
So we need to also remove things from the controller, BirtScreens.xml and
BirtMenus.xml. I believe we also need to prune web.xml.
It seems to me that we need to remove the attachments folder And the
server-config.wsdd. I see no usage left of them
These were all committed with http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?v
iew=revision&revision=892658 and later wrongly licensed in a bulk commit.
I will create a Jira for that an attach a patch

Yes it's indeed possible that we keep it. It's only 1 file, a bit more
editable than a DTD and not really a standard, but kind of in the Birt
ecosystem.
I tend to agree with Marvin https://issues.apache.org/jira
/browse/LEGAL-296?focusedCommentId=15952957&page=com.
atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-
tabpanel#comment-15952957
that the exceptions should exist by projects and on request. We can ask
legal for this one since it's really on the edge unlike the case we sorted
with LEGAL-296
And yes we removed the webapp but the ChartReport.ftl and Report.ftl
continue to work well as long as the birt.tld file is there.
I'll create a new LEGAL Jira!
Thanks
Jacques

I'm not an quite sure (I'm always bad with legalese) , but would this
not
qualify as category B [1] kind of source? It's a tag library needed at
runtime as mentioned in the "Viewer Tag Library" header in [2]. Are we
using the viewer for that matter or did we remove it completely?

Hi,
While working on HELP_BIRT.xml, I have found another issue regarding
the
birt component and the Birt license (EPL v1)
It's said at
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/notice.php
that all source maintained in the Birt repository is licensed under
EPL v1
The birt.tld file we use to render the example reports
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-plugins/trunk/b
irt/webapp/birt/WEB-INF/birt.tld
is not a simple file and was wrongly licensed with a ASL2 header.
The ChartReport.ftl and Report.ftl needs the birt.tld file and
unfortunately reading
http://freemarker.org/docs/pgui_misc_servlet.html
it seems we can't refer to an URL, like
https://github.com/EclispeBIRT/org.eclipse.birt/blob/master/
viewer/org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer/birt/WEB-INF/tlds/birt.tld
So I'm afraid we need to remove the 2 reports FTL examples and the
birt.tld.
We can still use the example.rptdesign and chart.rptdesign in other
ways.
Like we do for other reports or as examples for the Flexible Reports
but
I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
What do you think?
Jacques
