In order to write a plugin, you have to link to the existing Camel libraries. That's what is meant by a 'derived work'.
For example, in order to implement IMAP, you have to inherit from the CamelStore and CamelFolder classes. You also have to use CamelFolderSummary, CamelMimeMessage, CamelMimeParser, etc etc. And that's just for a basic implementation. Jeff On Fri, 2002-04-26 at 09:15, Michael M.
