zhengshihan created WEEX-69:
-------------------------------
Summary: Replace Facebook's Yoga in Weex with Google's
FlexboxLayout to avoid potential license issue.
Key: WEEX-69
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WEEX-69
Project: Weex
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Android, iOS
Affects Versions: 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16
Reporter: zhengshihan
Assignee: zhengshihan
Priority: Blocker
As we know,[The Apache Software Foundation bans the usage of Facebook
BSD+Patents licensed in Apache
products|https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x]
The Facebook BSD+Patents license includes a specification of a PATENTS file
that passes along risk to downstream consumers of our software imbalanced in
favor of the licensor, not the licensee, thereby violating our Apache legal
policy of being a universal donor. The terms of Facebook BSD+Patents license
are not a subset of those found in the ALv2, and they cannot be sublicensed as
ALv2.”
Weex-Team have heard the news and we decide to remove Facebook Yoga
with its additional Facebook BSD+Patents license. In order to release the next
version as soon as possible, we will create a new LayoutEngine based on [the
Google 's Flex-Layout|https://github.com/google/flexbox-layout].
