Yes, right, Apache Lenya will have the same problem.

I didn't think about this - this is probably why you didn't check too carefully, right?
Yes. Plus, as the Kupu licence itself is Apache compatible :
http://codespeak.net/svn/kupu/trunk/kupu/doc/LICENSE.txt

Aren't the Lenya guys somewhat associated with the Kupu-Editor team?
I don't know. But I guess even the Kupu guys didn't see that.
I'll email on their mailing list.

Downloading Sarissa it at build would be fine, for those that build from source.
But wouldn't it prevent us from distributing the compiled version ?

Martin

Indeed, this is bad.
I checked the Kupu licence, but not the one of all included libraries :-(
Plus, Kupu is the only decent HTML Editor I found with a compatible licence.

A quick fix would be to add a sarissa path, or to ask the developers to include the lib on the page.

A better fix would be to find another editor, but the gest one I've found, FCK editor is also all GLP  :
http://www.fckeditor.net/license/default.html

About this licence problem, we could also talk with the guys of lenya ( http://lenya.apache.org ) as they also use Kupu, so I guess they have the same problem.

Hi Martin,

thanks for pointing this out - obviously Sylvain has looked at the
Kupu license directly, but not on the included libs closely enough.


Sylvain, what would you suggest? Do you have a remedy for this?

regards,

Martin
