Hi Laurent,
Improved SVG sounds great.
However GPL and Eclipse really do not get along well. Nothing in Eclipse
can depend on a GPL piece of code. Have a look at
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.sfzscklic49g
<https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.sfzscklic49g>
For example, you couldn't add jFreeSVG to Orbit or to Nebula as a
dependency.
Your best bet is to ask JFreeSVG to relicense or dual license. There are
only 4 committers on record, with the vast majority (99%) being the
project owner (https://github.com/jfree/jfreesvg/graphs/contributors
<https://github.com/jfree/jfreesvg/graphs/contributors>). If he can
license it EPL then you are good to go.
I am not a lawyer - but I hope the above is helpful.

Hi
I'm currently working on bug 566 565 :
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=566565
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=566565>
The idea is to use the jFreeSVG library
(https://github.com/jfree/jfreesvg
<https://github.com/jfree/jfreesvg>) and embed a swing object with
SWT/AWT Bridge.
I've got some questions
a) The library is not a plugin. Should we use it as a "simple"
library ? Should we create a plugin with the source code ?
b) This library is under GPLv3 licence. Is it ok if we use in Nebula ?
c) I'm also experiment a weird idea : port jFreeSVG to SWT. In this
case, what is the process ? Is there any licence problem ?
Thank you for your answers.
Cheers,
Laurent
