Its a hack in the sense that Akka went around the intent from ZeroMQ which is that their product is LGPL licensed. If they wanted people to integrate with ZeroMQ using other licenses then IMHO it would be better if ZeroMQ had dual licenses for its drivers. Since we cannot use a driver from the "source" eg ZeroMQ project, and have to defer to Akka project which is also Scala based (requiring Scala on the JVM) is imho going a bit far, and in the area of being a "hack". The other Camel components do not do this. So its a bit controversial if the ASF community of Camel is interested going down this road. And also the Akka releases is not published to maven central. Its not a blocker though. But software released to maven central is preferred. Its a bit of pain to have to rely on to many 3rd party maven repos. > On 25 September 2012 15:08, Claus Ibsen <claus.ib...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi >> >> See ticket >> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5557 >> >> As this component uses a bit of a "hack" to avoid using LGPL I would >> like fellow riders thoughts on this contribution? >> >> There is a number of comments on this ticket, I suggest to read to get >> up to speed. >> >> >> >> -- >> Claus Ibsen >> ----------------- >> Red Hat, Inc. >> FuseSource is now part of Red Hat >> Email: cib...@redhat.com >> Web: http://fusesource.com >> Twitter: davsclaus >> Blog: http://davsclaus.com >> Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen >> > > > > -- > -Sam -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
