Thanks for the reference. The relevant links from the other discussion can be found in this JIRA, which is a bit more broad, involving not only the web site but distribution of the syntax highlighter as part of an Apache downloadable artifact as well. Bottom line, it looks like we're in good standing if the JSecurity web site includes the syntax highlighter.

All,



Cheers,
Brett

I think you'll find the specific case of syntax highlighter was discussed very recently on legal-discuss.

Hi Les,

This is a question for infra, not just for the jsecurity team.

I'm copying infra on this thread so they can offer their opinions.

The web site is part of Apache, but it's not a "release" of Apache code the way a downloadable source or binary release is a "release" of Apache code. I believe that if you propose to use some LGPL code to make the web site easier to use, there will not be any objection, but it's best to ask in case there are any questions by the infra team whose responsibility is to keep Apache running. Infra might have some questions about the code that go beyond the license.

Hrm. I see that syntaxhighlighter is LGPL. Are we allowed to _use_ LGPL

code in the public website even though we're not using it our actual
software?

Another question - with the exported website, could we install our own CSS

and JavaScript libraries?

For example, I came across this (

http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/) a while back and think it is just awesome. I want to use it on the quickstart/sample pages to make things look nicer. Can we do that with an exported site? (I'm trying to

learn what we are capable of or perhaps limited to).

The big notice at the top of this page:

You can link to the exported version of the wiki, to any page that is part of the project's web site. No problem. The exported version has been referenced, so having external links to it is a resource problem for Apache. Call it weird rules, but all you need to do is to use the exported URL prefix instead of the dynamic URL prefix. The dynamic URL prefix isn't even visible to visitors or users of the exported site. It's only known to the
