Some relevant LEGAL issues (which don't really clarify as they ask for the FAQ to be updated, but that wasn't done) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-207 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-153 So although it "should" be OK for test runtime only (as our test-code only compiles/binds with junit, not the eosgi-junit-runner), the best long-term is probably to explore the pax-exam solution suggested by Benson. There's always the risk that someone down-stream will find that OSGi lib/ auto-packaging made by eosgi useful, and unintentionally add it to their product without considering the LGPL license. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating) http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
