Re: XDoclet2@Jakarta and LGPL libraries.

[Andrew C. Oliver]

Can you get Mark Wutka to state that his LGPL explicitly permits linking 
and that section 6 of the LGPL does not apply to end users, etc etc?  Is 
he the copyright holder?

If so than you should be good to go (from my understanding).  (As the 
copyright holder he can explicitly address the issues that are of concern)

Hi!

As you might know, the XDoclet team is preparing for Jakarta membership (for
XDoclet 2), and we're trying to sort out some political issues before we do
so. (You can read about XDoclet 2 on TSS today).
XDoclet 2 needs a DTD parser, and the only decent (actually great) DTD
parser we have found is Mark Wutka's DTDParser
(http://www.wutka.com/dtdparser.html). It's LGPL. I've heard that LGPL is a
no-no for Jakarta projects. Would XDoclet's depending on Wutka's DTDParser
(with its current license) rule out our possibilities for Jakarta
membership?
(As a side note, we're depending on a dozen Jakarta (commons) libraries).

Cheers,
Aslak
