Licensing
When reading the licensing agreement (terms) I found a reference to the Browser Detect Code as follows Browser Detect v2.1.6 Creative Commons Attribution 1.0 google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com; transliterated into Java source and also came across Protocol BuffersNew BSD License code.google.com/p/protobuf How does this impact Commercial Software development? Both these licenses are not acceptable to our company and was wondering whether it would impact developing the software in GWT...

Web Kit Licensing
Hi Everyone We are in the process of redesigning our old internal system , we are looking at potential tools/ Libraries to aid in doing this which are the following , we are not looking to do any changes to the libraries , we will use them as they are, Some of the technologies we are using are JSON XML Java Hibernate if any anybody has any other suggestions they are greatly welcomed. Google Web kit http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/ http://www.extjs.com/ Im looking to get some sort of clarification on licensing as we are looking to sell the online business at some point complete with the system we will have built, Thanks Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Code Licensing
This might not be the best forum for this question, but it specifically involves GWT code and should be simple, so I'll give it a shot. I'm in the process of taking classes from some Google-written GWT modules (both java and jsni code), mangling them, and writing code on top of the result. Obviously this is fine because of the original license, but as I post my code online (still under the Apache 2.0 License), I'm wondering what other people in a similar situation have done with the notice on the top of source files. Specifically, for those files that qualify as Derivative works but contain significant code copyrighted by Google, how have people best fulfilled their obligations to 2. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files; and 3. You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works; and 4. ...You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License. http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Here is what Sam Ruby has to say on that subject: http://intertwingly.net/blog/2007/06/29/GPL-Compatible Pay particular attention to the paragraph that begins I’ll attempt to do that and more: --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: GWT and ExtGWT Licensing
This is the section from Apache about compatibility: This licensing incompatibility applies *only* when some Apache project software becomes a derivative work of some GPLv3 software, because then the Apache software would have to be distributed under GPLv3. This would be incompatible with ASF's requirement that all Apache software must be distributed under the Apache License 2.0. As far as the license is converned, when ExtGWT extends a GWT class it is a derivitive work in the eyes of the GPL, so the above clause is true.
