Hello Jeff!
The license questions are always complicated.
The purpose of requiring the BSD license is to allow for companies to take
ArgoUML, make additions and market the resulting product. We could accept
that this is not possible for the SQL plug-in or for a specific SQL plug-in
and still allow the other parts of the infrastructure (since GPL is accepted
by Tigris).
Perhaps it is then best to keep the two separate implementations. One with
the BSD license, that we hope all database engine manufacturers will pick
up, improve for their RDBMS and market together with their RDBMS-product.
One GPL version that we hope all database engine manufacturers will suggest
improvements for as they see their users using it. Which of these scenarios
that is the most likely to be successful is hard to say. It probably depends
more on the developers involved than on the choice of policy.
Let me just ask all developers:
Is there any reason, not to take in a GPLed subproject in the ArgoUML
project?
