+0 ATM (i have a couple of questions) important notes ------------------ (please read but IMHO action is not required for this release) http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk/applications/pos/dtd/jcl.dtd is CPL'd. note that under this draft http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html distribution would not be allowed. this is draft policy ATM. may need to either create a clean room implementation or raise issue on legal-discuss. queries --------- http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk/framework/workflow/dtd/xpdl.dtd may not be under an open source compatible license (note that modification is not explicitly allowed but all rights are not restricted). standard DTDs are a difficult subject: many licenses used are not open source compatible. may need to ask on legal. i think that a clean room implementation of the DTD from the specification under the apache license (if that is possible) may be easier and quicker than untangling the legal issues. same goes for http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk/framework/workflow/dtd/xpdl.xsd and http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk/framework/shark/dtd/TC-1025_schema_10_xpdl.xsd would this be possible? ofbiz.jar does not contain LICENSE and NOTICE in it's META-INF. so this jar cannot be distributed as a bare artifact. for example, this means that it cannot be distributed through the maven repository. do you intend to ban distribution by maven? - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
