if I'm allowed to donate it. > The idea is that the work Erik is doing for his assignment should be contributed to Apache Celix. If I am correct the Coperate CLA [2] which Thales has signed should make this possible. One option we are looking into is ZeroMQ, which is licensed under the LGPL. If I am reading the Third-Party Licensing Policy correct, this is legal, if we handle this as a optional add-on [3]. Am I correct on this ? And do we find adding optional add-ons with non authorized licences acceptable for functionality not part of the core framework? Personally I think this should be ok, if it adds a significant advantages.
