Hi!
The following page has been changed by HenriYandell:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/Using_LGPL'd_code
Does this mean the door to have LGPL dependencies as described below has
been closed again?
- = Latest [EMAIL PROTECTED] informations (2006) =
-
- Lately we discussed that it might be possible that the PMC is able to vote to add LGPL stuff to a project as long as the following rule will be fulfilled.
-
- We still need the ok from legal@ before we start with this procedure.
-
- At least the jakarta PMC voted that these rules are acceptable.
-
- == Rules==
-
- * ask the original library author to change its license or provide a double licensing model
- * look for an alternative implementation with an ASF friendly license
- * the build script BY DEFAULT excludes java classes depending on LGPL
- * a special parameter will enable building these classes
- * its not allowed to bundle the LGPL library with any
distribution\\(nightly, release)
- * the function the library gains from the LGPL stuff is fully optional
- * a bridging api (which can reside within the same project - so can be
hosted at apache) will be used to access these LGPL stuff to clearly show its
optional behaviour
- * a vote for adding a LGPL dependency to a project on pmc@
-
- The technical stuff how to setup the build has to be figured out.
Ciao,
Mario
