Hello -dev,
I'd like to make CouchDBX[1], my precompiled all-in-one package for
Mac OS X
part of the official CouchDB distribution.
Three questions come to mind:
- Does everyone like the idea?
I hope to gather more developer momentum as I have a lot of cool
features
in mind. But nobody needs to feel obliged to spend cycles on it.
At the moment
it is maintained at Google Code.
- What is the best way to integrate CouchDBX into the project?
Since it comes with it's own set of source-files that do not
belong in trunk/,
where to put it? Is that where a sub-project comes in handy?
- Licensing.
CouchDBX includes compiled non-Apache 2.0-licensed code. Can we
publish
that as part of an official ASF release?
The licenses in questions are:
- The Erlang Public License (http://www.erlang.org/EPLICENSE), a
derivative of the
Mozilla Public License 1.0.
- The ICU License (http://www.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/license.html
which
is already used in another ASF distribution (it escaped my mind
which one, Noah,
do you still remember?).
- The Mozilla Public License 1.1 (http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/MPL-1.1.html
).
- Did I forget anything?
Thanks for any input.
Cheers
Jan
