I have a quite handy emacs-mode for ij which I want to
contribute. Is plugins/emacs a suitable place?
There will be one .el file and one readme file.
A worry: sql-ij.el uses (calls) emacs' sqli.el which is distributed
under GPL (i think). Would that cuase problems if I want to distribute
sql-ij.el under an apache license as part of Derby?
As long as we only distribute sql-ij.el in source form, not binary, I
don't think there's any problem. I'm not a lawyer, though...
Distributing Bernt's sql-ij.el source file contributed under the ASL
should be fine, and distributing anything under GPL isn't. So maybe the
readme could provide instructions on where to download the GPL piece and
build it.

p.s. There have been quite a few discussions on [email protected]
regarding lgpl and possibly relaxing the current apache rules (if I'm
reading things right). More importantly, it sounds like they're going to
target ApacheCon in December for solidified info. I'd encourage all the
committers interested in these licensing issues to attend.
