The Apache licen(c|s)e makes the code available for any use as long as due credit is given. No reference is given to availability of the source code of the modifications. If you modify Apache licen(c|s)e code, you can keep the modifications for yourself, as long as you give due credit. If the code is to ask to become an Apache project, the source code *must* be Apache licen(c|s)e 1.1. If not, it can be still used by FOP as a jar if the licen(c|s)e permits its distribution with Apache software-code. > > - is the api sufficient for FOP to use > > I don't know, but we can always fill the gaps. :-) -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
