Re: add BIRT branch to trunk.

[Scott Gray]

One more thing, BirtViewerAttributeBean.java appears to have sourced most of it's code from birt's ViewAttributeBean class and then just been licensed as ASL which I don't think is appropriate, it's really a derivative work.

The same applies to BirtEngineServlet.java and BirtViewerServlet.java, except for minor changes they are exact copies of birt files with the license changed.

I checked out the branch and had a look, I see a large number of javascript and jsp source files that are EPL licensed and I'm pretty sure that we cannot include them.

Additionally and this one is a little more obscure and I could quite possibly be wrong but the dteapi.jar file contains a javax.olap package and the only reference I can find to that package is jsr-69 (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=069 ). According to that page the jsr never reached Final Release and the Proposed Final Draft was licensed under an evaluation license. Birt has written the source code for the interfaces defined by the specification themselves and licensed it as EPL but I have know idea whether they were legally allowed to do that.

Hi Chatree and Hans,

What was the outcome of the EPL licensed source files?

Thanks

We are now ready to add the BIRT branch to the trunk.

The branch:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/addbirt

which contains a full ofbiz from 3 weeks ago with birt added and
implemented all comments that were received up to now.

It is implemented as secondary application.


received we will merge this with the trunk early next week.
