According to the licensing guidelines page these should be fine as
long as they are NOT and NEVER modified. In other words, there is an
exception for certain files (especially javascript, and jsp should be
okay too) where we can include the source if it is unmodified, since
that is the only way they can operate (ie they can't be compiled and
included in compiled form).

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.

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

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.
please let us know about further comments. If no major objections
are
received we will merge this with the trunk early next week.
