This issue has come up before. This time, let's flatten it. In two weeks, there is a board meeting. At that time, I would like to be able to report that the contents of the Maven repository conforms to the policies of the Apache Software Foundation. Code under the ASF License is clearly OK. As is the IBM Public License (the pre-Jakarta BSF, for example) and the MPL (Rhino). The following public domain components are also approved: Antlr and Doug Lea's concurrency package. Licenses clearly not conforming to the ASF's policies for distribution: LGPL, GPL, Sun's Binary Code License. Please direct any questions or comments (including new licenses to be considered) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Some we can resolve for ourselves (e.g., the specific public domain packages above). Others I'll batch up and forward to the board and/or licensing folk. By the board meeting after that (3rd week in March), I'd like to have the infrastructure issues resolved (where should this data should be hosted, mirrored, etc). - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
