Hi Thiago,

Thank you for clarification. I was a bit confused at the beginning.

U+ bridge can be a plug-in in the main repository, and it will follow the 
licenses of IoTivity.

So what I should do next is to create a U+ plug-in sub-repository in the main 
bridging repository, right?

Regards,

The two bridges do, but for two different reasons:
* the UPnP bridge uses a library whose licence is not compatible with the main 
  IoTivty licence, so it cannot live in the same repository
* the AllJoyn bridge is an application (a large one), not a plugin and is not 
  meant to be loaded into regular server applications

At the same time, the Nest bridge is a plugin and lives in the main 
repository.

I'm simply asking you what part of your design requires it to be a separate 
repository. Or, put it separately, why can't it be a plugin in the main 
repository?
