Hello,

(When time permits,) I am trying to solve the JavaHelp problem (the
javahelp module depends on JavaHelp, which is GPL2v+CPE).

What I am trying to do is to allow the help system to work in a rudimentary
way without JavaHelp, and allow it to work as before if JavaHelp is present
(i.e. making the dependency on JavaHelp optional).

Just to be sure, I wanted to ask:
-per:
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#optional
is it OK to have optional code that depends on Category X (specifically
category X) libraries? The code itself would be included in the
distribution, but it would be disabled at runtime unless the user installed
the library
-is it OK to have a compile-time dependency on such a library? (I assume
yes...)

Thanks,
    Jan
