Hi,
I'm more annoyed by #697848. The first two issues raised by Ansgar were
not yet discussed with upstream because I need a confirmation on what
is exactly the issue. If this is what I underlined in my reply then I
am afraid we will have no easy solution except for moving ace to
non-free.
I am afraid I agree with Ansgar that the licence is rife with problems,
in particular the part where you are not allowed to remove functionality.
This can be read as forbidding to rip part of the source code and reuse
it in a different projet. Can it be DFSG-free if this is not allowed ?
Agreed, but I believe Sun intent here was to ensure that
standardization and implementation efforts (IDL to C++ and IIOP
marshalling rules) do not get ruined by code modifications. Yes, I am
interpreting.
@Johnny: any opinion on this? See [1] for the context.
The intent of Sun is to keep IIOP mandatory in the code, but as far as I
know we can ship the code without problems.
Johnny
