mmmm, following your reasoning we should report also the copyright of Sun Microsystem as we use a lot of interfaces of Java.
No this is different. We are not distributing any interfaces of Java. We are only implementing (in java language terms) interfaces. In the framework case, we are actually distributing a class called org.osgi.framework.AdminPermission. That is different.
The only problem I see concerns the kind of code we are assembling, if the code is under GPL and our software would not work without it, then the software would be considered as a derived software of GPL code but the problem would be the license used, not the notice file.
As I said, the situation with reciprocity is different and warrants a NOTICE. In case of GPL code it is actually pretty easy; we are not allowed to use it.
BTW I think that asking to the legal@ ML would be fine ;-) francesco
Well, of you go and digg in the archives whether it has been discussed already. If not, then yes, maybe we should ask :-) regards, Karl -- Karl Pauls [EMAIL PROTECTED]
