ruby-debug-base is not neccesary for JRuby functioning so it is an external add-on. So my argument is that our src and bin releases of JRuby is a full distribution akin to a Linux distro. Maybe we just need to list this with all our other licenses we list at the top?
This does sounds like a good argument :)
The fact that the gem itself has a violation is something that should be addressed. Has anyone contacted maintainers of jruby-debug-base? We should do due dilligence and get them to correct the issue.
I've opened http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=28278&group_id=3085&atid=11903
For what it is worth I think we can hack out an API-compatible linecache in a few hours if anyone has the time? Can someone do a rainy Saturday project and contribute back a non-GPL linecache to this gem (the API looks pretty small)? You would be a hero and get a beer from me the next time I see you....
I'll see if I can squash this in a couple of days and file a patch upstream. -- Ketan http://ketan.padegaonkar.name | http://eclipse.org/swtbot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
