Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-9323:
----------------------------------------

Hi Taher,

Yes indeed when I create the patch, either with ToirtoiseSvn (as here) or with 
Subclipse, or even svn di (which is actually used underneath by both before) 
the removed files are not in the patch. Why is explained here 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12124660/svn-diff-ignoring-deleted-files.

But yes, as I have mentionned in the dev ML thread I intend to also remove all 
concernes files or folders (and their content), ie:
birt/template
birt/webapp/birt/WEB-INF/attachments
birt.tld
server-config.wsdd

It would be great indeed if we could put back the Birt viewer. But is not the 
new POJO based API still using the EPL v1 license?

Note though that if this is impossible, because of the license, we could still 
explain in a page in the wiki how to use the Birt viewer, even its both 
versions...

I also read that the Eclipse fundation is working on a v2 of the EPL. But it's 
only to make it more compatible with the GPL not the ASL. So I see no chances 
with both EPL license versions to be integrated in an Apache released product.
