Diwakar, The Apache license is one of the most business friendly open-source licenses, so you're definitely safe there. You'll find a lot of background on the Apache license on http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html - basically, you can use/fork/redistribute/... Apache ServiceMix 3.x as long as you keep the LICENSE file (and headers, if you distribute the source) and somewhere in your manual or documentation mention that your product is based on Apache ServiceMix.
However, the key element in an Apache project is the community itself, so let's start working together and see how we can help we can get you directly involved in ServiceMix as well... ;) First of all, we would definitely welcome any patches for Apache ServiceMix 3.x - the more issues we get sorted out, the better. Secondly, Apache ServiceMix 4.x also comes with JBI support and this was designed to help people like yourself, who already invested in JBI, to migrate to the new version without having to recreate your existing service assemblies. Almost all our existing JBI components are compatible with and available in ServiceMix 4.x and we will gladly help you out with any issues you might encounter there (or point you in the right direction to get a patch done ;)) Regards, Gert Vanthienen ------------------------ FuseSource Web: http://fusesource.com Blog: http://gertvanthienen.blogspot.com/ On Sun, Jun 10, 2012 at 7:11 PM, diwakar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > >> Yes, if you keep the Apache license, you can "fork" the code > and maintain > Did you mean keeping the following Apache license text in source > code? > /* > * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more > * contributor license agreements.
