Hello,

There is virtually no access to our biomoby registry. I am for putting biomoby support as extra. If there is a demand for biomoby we could rewrite it using my MobyCore/MobyCentral libraries.
They have no any third-party dependencies and I can put them under Apache.

Thanks for pushing this forward, Ian! In had hoped to have more time for

+1 to move biomoby-activity out to extras. I think it also depends on the
monster biomoby.jar which shadows lots of libs of various licenses.

  I think Dmitri has access to the biomoby registry hosted in Spain, do you
have any access numbers, Dmitri..?


I think for CDDL of the XSD files we want to keep it as "binary" so it is
clearly not source code that can be modified under AL2 - while we want to
keep it as dual license so much it remains usable from GPL (e.g.
AstroTaverna).

Perhaps the ideal is to move the XSD out as a separate Maven dependency
under its own license, say from GitHub. (Donal said that original lives
inside a PDF .... )

..or we can also leave it as a zip file in the GitHub repo, which is not as
clean (and would require LICENCE changes)?

Middle ground : make a taverna-extras repo with a Release JAR of just the
XSDs, and download straight from GH; I think the Maven plugin could do
that. Does not work as nicely with caches and proxies.

Hello,

Taverna server includes an xsd (https://github.com/apache/
incubator-taverna-server/blob/master/taverna-server-webapp/
src/misc/xsd/persistence_1_0.xsd) which can be licensed under CDDL (read
the source file - the user can select either gpl or cddl).

https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved#category-b states the following
regarding CDDL (among others):

For small amounts of source that is directly consumed by the ASF product at
runtime in source form, and for which that source is unmodified and
unlikely to be changed anyway (say, by virtue of being specified by a
standard), inclusion of appropriately labeled source is also permitted.

So it looks like that file can be included but it begs the question of what
"appropriately labeled" means. Any ideas? Point to this licence in NOTICE?

Cheers,

Ian

Hello,

This sounds like a horribly tangled web that we should just ignore for
the moment. Perhaps the biomoby-activity-ui can be moved to the
taverna-extras repo until we clear this up. To me it doesn't seem worth
expending  effort when most of the other apache taverna repos are almost
there regards licences.
