A question for the more legal-wise of the developers. I am investigating Tuscany-2568 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-2568) which is to provide a Tuscany JavaScript client model for Atom data.

Luciano and I have discussed the issue a bit, and at this point I am investigating two possibilities: 1) Grow an Atom Publishing Protocol JavaScript client from scratch (which is similar to the Abdera Atom model).

2) Use an existing APP JavaScript client model, such as the model that exists in the Google GData JavaScript client API. Notice that a few of the Tuscany projects already use the Google GData API, but none that I have seen have embedded or loaded the GData library from a JavaScript client.

My question is, if I go down the second route and use the GData model, does the Apache Open Source licensing coexist peacefully with the terms of service of the Google Data APIs? (http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/client-js-terms.html)

If no one knows the answer right off the bat, I will research the answer myself, but I just wanted to float the question in case anyone had quick answers or a person to contact.
