Hi catalin, The apache license and the gnu public license are not compatible from the asf side. It would be safe to remove the gpl code.

Hi Bernd, Ok, the problematic code will be removed asap. There is still an alternate approach there, which was used first, formatting source code with https://jhighlight.dev.java.net/. This can easily replace the JS based formatting. Do you see any issues with using jhighlight? we don't distribute any code of it, just have a dependency to it.

Hey Catalin, CDDL may/can work: http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html GPL3 is NOT compatible. However, projects that are licensed under GPL3 can actually now include Apache2 licensed software; That is the reason why *they* state GPL3 is compatible. See here, no the no-go section. http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x Some more info on Apache2 / GPL3: http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html Snip: *However, GPLv3 software cannot be included in Apache projects.* And it also explains implicit issues, that in worst case the Apache software (e.g. the demo) would have to be released under GPL3, which is a no-go = of course -Matthias On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 2:44 PM, Catalin Kormos catalin.kor...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Bernd, Ok, the problematic code will be removed asap.

Hey Matthias, All clear, thanks a lot for the clarifications, I might have went a bit too fast over the compatibility of licenses when I checked it out. regards, Catalin On 1/28/10, Matthias Wessendorf mat...@apache.org wrote: Hey Catalin, CDDL may/can work: http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html GPL3 is NOT compatible.

Hey Catalin, not a big deal. Honestly the licensing question is a not trivial drama :-) -M On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 3:49 PM, Catalin Kormos catalin.kor...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Matthias, All clear, thanks a lot for the clarifications, I might have went a bit too fast over the compatibility of licenses when I checked it out. regards, Catalin On 1/28/10, Matthias Wessendorf mat...@apache.org wrote: Hey Catalin, CDDL may/can work: http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html GPL3 is NOT compatible.
