Folks,
Right or wrong, we have policy from the board concerning use of LGPL. That policy essentially say that we cannot import a LGPL class/interface an Apache class or interface.
There is an unused SSH transport in AltRMI that uses a third party LGPL library from jcraft. My proposition is that the ten or so classes that deliver this are moved to SourceForge and relicensed as LGPL (as well as being renamed to respect the Apache/Avalon name). The relicense is proposed as the implication of the policy on LGPL is that the classes using it must be flawed if they are Apache licensed. By moving to SourceForge and licensing as LGPL, we are stating that the extensions to AltRMI are no the legal responsibility of Apache. This change in no way affects AltRMI itself. Nothing from that new project will be used by AltRMI or distributed with.
My Vote = +1
non-binding +1 (I guess AltRMI is now part of incubator, innit?)
