It is simply a clone of this: https://github.com/fnk/w3c-ddr
Essentially we would not need the source form in our SVN but the real key problem is, whether or not a BINARY Maven artifact can be provided in a proper way? So far nobody bothered putting it on MavenCentral. Unless there is a legal reason W3C would prohibit that, I guess they just didn't see Java or Maven as important. So consider it a "mirror" of the Git repo. If the DeviceMap build system was flexible enough to grab it from his GitHub repo, then we could delete the mirror. We must find a way to "Mavenize" the target binary, otherwise there is no point in using the W3C Simple DDR and we might have to drop the DDR features once and for all[?] Werner On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 5:22 PM, Bertrand Delacretaz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi (Werner mostly as you committed this), > > The code under [1] is apparently from W3C, did you have permission > from whoever owns its copyright to contribute it to this project? > > I don't see any license information, and lots of author tags which > might indicate ownership - or not. > > I don't see an urgent need to remove that from our repository, but we > should find out whether you were actually allowed to copy it here or > not. > > -Bertrand > > [1] > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/devicemap/trunk/contrib/w3c/ddr-simple >
