Dear developers, I have a question concerning the license used for Jonathan. The GNU Lesser GPL distinguishes between "work based on the library" and "work that uses the library". Since Jonathan is a modular ORB framework it is possible to easily add new modules, e.g. a new binding factory. Is this new module considered a modification of the original ORB, thus "work based on the library" or is it just using the ORB? Or, in other words: when distributing the extended Jonathan is it necessary to include the source code of the extensions? At least including the "base" source code seems to be mandantory. Thanks for clarification, Thomas.
