These are more of a problem. We can't include any derived source for
the EPL license, since that is where the viral/copy-left part of the
license applies.
These need to be in their original form as compiled classes, or need
to be a "clean-room" implementation that is not covered by the
copyright on the original files.

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.

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.
