I love Stripes Framework and have used it heavily, but my needs are a bit bigger than the framework itself provides. I thought of extending Stripes, but what I'm trying to accomplish, doesn't turn out to be simple when based on vanilla Stripes. So, I've decided to give it a try and create my own framework.
Please, do not comment about the hundredth JavaEE web framework. I know it's hell and I know about NIH syndrome, but I'll create it anyway, because I have ideas that no framework I've tried implements and that are not easily integrated on top of existing framework. It's probably going to be just for my internal use, I'm considering open sourcing it or selling it. I'd love to reuse some of Stripes' code (about 5 or 10 classes, I guess) and therefore I'd like to know what is your take on licensing. Is it OK if I just leave the classes, along with all licence and author information in the comments, untouched? What if I need to modify the code? Do I give my changes back, what if they're not beneficial to Stripes? Do I HAVE TO open source whole my framework (I'm thinking of doing it, but not yet sure)? Can I sell it? Can I move classes to another package? What credit will be considered enough when I distribute my framework and what credit would users of my framework give to Stripes? I've never done that and don't want to go wrong or insult anyone in any way :-) I don't feel like reinventing the wheel though and am not sure I understand Apache 2 license enough to answer my questions myself... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
