Hi Jevon That's great news and thanks for the swift response. I'll check with the legal folks at Eclipse, but LGPL sounds fine to me.
I looked at the project license file (http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/license.html) and it is still showing GPL. Does this need updating?

I think the next release will have the appropriate license file, etc. As far as I know, as long as you don't modify the JWebUnit code directly (i.e. the content in the JARs), no license change is necessary. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.jwebunit.devel/1767 Cheers Jevon On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 3:59 AM, Glyn Normington <gnorming...@vmware.com<mailto:gnorming...@vmware.com>> wrote: As the post below seemed to be blocked, I raise feature request 3009975 [1].
