Hi Mark,
Is there some recommended way to go about contacting [email protected]? Do I
need to be subscribed to it (and would I subscribe using
[email protected])?
Thx
Dan

If we are _not_ distributing this project but only _using_ it, then it would be
no problem at all. LGPL projects might be used this way.
Of course, if he kindly gave us permission to relicense it under ASL, then we
might also package it into our distribution bundles.
Not 100% sure though whether/where we need to put this on file.
I'd say we contact [email protected], just to be sure.

Dear mentors,
I've realized that one of my sister projects (restful objects) has a
dependency on some LGPL software.
Per the email chain below, I contacted the developer, Sergey
Ilinsky, who has granted us permission with the words below:
Yes, I authorize "NO framework and your sister projects accepted
[2] into the Apache incubator" to use my XMLHttpRequest.js library
(available at the http://code.google.com/p/xmlhttprequest/
and currently licensed under LGPL) with the ASL license.
Does this make sense legally, and is it enough to put on file? Or
would he need to formally license his software under ASL from his
main website (and if he's not happy, then I'd need to yank it and
use something else instead).
Thanks,
Dan

Sergey,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply, and for granting us this
permission.
I'm still learning the ropes at Apache, so I'll need to double check
that the statement below suffices (and legally makes sense) but I
would hope it would.

Just had a quick glance at your Ample SDK; I'm always on the lookout
for new frameworks that target the UI experience. It might work
quite well as an alternative default front-end for my restful
interface. Just added it to the Isis wiki. But whatever, good luck
with build up a community for it.
Thanks again,
Dan

BTW, you may be interested in looking into another project
I recently started - Ample SDK, Open-Source JavaScript GUI
Framework http://www.amplesdk.com
There are already several businesses using it for their
benefit!

Hi Sergey,
I came across your XMLHttpRequest a while back while
writing my book [1] on the Java Naked Objects framework
(perhaps you've heard of it, but then again, perhaps
not) and incorporated it into some companion "sister"
project to expose a RESTful interface to an NO domain
model.
Fast forward a year, and we've had the NO framework and
my sister projects accepted [2] into the Apache
incubator.
Anyway... one of the requirements for Apache is that all
dependencies must be ASL or equivalent. I see that
you've changed the license on XMLHttpRequest from GPL to
LGPL, but LGPL doesn't quite cut-it for Apache.
So, my question is... would you be willing to further
change your license from LGPL to ASL? Otherwise I guess
I'll need to reimplement, but it's a shame to do so
given such a good piece of work is already out there.
Many thanks,
Dan Haywood
