Hi, We have following dependencies , with mentioned licensing
libxml2 - MIT License zlib - zlib license iconv* - LGPL License *(Axis2/C doesn't have direct dependency with iconv, only libxml2 has dependency with iconv) David Illsley provide this link [1] as a reference , which carries potential solution for our issue. According to this document MIT and zlib licenses comes under Category A licenses (Authorized licenses). <quote> Third-party works, in both source and binary form, may be included within Apache products when made available under the following licenses: </quote> whereas LGPL comes under Category X licenses (Excluded Licenses), <quote> The following licenses must not apply to any software within an Apache product, whether in source or binary form. See Options for Prohibited Works for applicability to system requirements or optional works distributed elsewhere. </quote> My understanding is , we could ship libxml2 and zlib if we want. But there might not be room for iconv. However we do not have direct dependency for iconv, we list it because libxml2 have dependency on it. Any thoughts on this ? thanks, Dinesh 1.http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html#options-systemrequirements --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
