Hi,

just two things that come to my mind from the experiences we made with
importing the first code for Stanbol from the IKS project.

Do you know of the use of any third party libs that are either

a) not available via Maven central
b) licensed under terms that are not compatible with the Apache License,
2.0? (e.g. GPL)

For a): If libs are not available in Maven central we need to create
appropriate "-deps" packages that contain everything needed for the build.
Source releases of Marmotta are not allowed to include any binaries, like
JAR files. This can be a struggling point for the build process.

For b): Dealing with licensing issues can slow down the release process
tremendously. Knowing of modules which may by problematic before importing
them could make things easier.

Best,
 - Fabian
