James Dailey commented on FINERACT-1125:
----------------------------------------
[~francisguchie]. Step 1 is to find the license that applies to the project you
want to consider.
Step 2. Lookup the licenses and how they map to the Apache Foundation
requirements on this page --> [https://apache.org/legal/resolved.html].
That page explains (simplified):
* Category A means "OK"
* Cateorgy B means "Careful" ...possibly ok if you follow certain steps
* Category X means NOT Allowed in an apache code release
As I said, BIRT is category B . See EPL License on above page
KNIME is not open source and could not be included in any apache project See
[https://www.knime.com/download/license]
Don't know about the other two you mentioned but just google them and read
their licenses.
Also, a better direction may be Kibana and the ELK stack as these are apache
projects.
Now, let's see Micheal's work on Pentaho over at FINERACT-1127
> Integrate Alternative Reporting tool for Fineract 1.x without Apache License
