Thanks for this, Benson, and may take it you up on it. Mark suggested
running by [email protected] first, otherwise I may very well want to take you
up on this offer.
Cheers
Dan

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
