Folks, I just reviewed the ASFs policy on including/linkting to software with incompatible licenses (e.g. GPL/LGPL) [1]. If my reading is right, we are OK to do that as long as the components depending on incompatible stuff are not part of our official distribution. So a binary tapestry-hibernate jar is OK since the binaries are not part of our official distribution, only the source is. This means however, that we are not allowed to include sources for modules that depend on software with incompatible licenses in our official distribution, which we are currently doing, e.g. with tapestry-hibernate.
What we need to do is 1. check the licenses of all dependencies and see if they are incompatible to the ASL 2. remove the affected modules from the source distribution and replace them with instructions on how to obtain them Uli [1] http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#optional --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
