look into things and potentially send this issue to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
get their approval etc and then assuming it all works out, it can be
posted into the Maven repo.
But even this seems like a lot of work -- why can't MSFT just release
some things (like for example a SQL Server client connection library)
under a license which freely permits redistribution rights, like so
many other libraries/products already hosted by Maven? Even Sun has
seen the "error" of their ways and is busy relicensing things under
CDDL of late...
I agree, it's a pain in the butt, I guess being a big company has it's
drawbacks. Having to deal with legal is always a problem and indeed the
EULA is filled with stuff in which they wave their responsibility more
than anything else. However, can maven accept the terms or not?
