Subject: Re: [jira] Commented: (JAMES-461) Maildir support
If GPL code includes methods that are not present in the javax.* API, you
cannot use them without infecting the code.
--- Noel
Maybe I'm not able to explain what I want to know.
I know what the GPL is and I also know about the differences in the
interpretations by Apache lawyers and FSF, but this is not the point.
I asked for a solution, not for explanations of the problem ;-)
We can add the "imaginary.javax.mail.UIDPlusFolder" (or a similar
interface) to the mailet API or to a third party ASL2 licensed project. We
can then add a sourceforge project that include the GPL maildir and the
GPL plugin including our ASL interface. People then will have Maildir
support in james: is this right?
Stefano
This is a borderline case. And this is not in the interest of people using
Apache software.
A major point not to include or support code under the GPL is to keep a
clear license situation.
