> Some comments below. It's not clear to me how the binary is downloaded. We may want to upload it to the OSWUL server. Let me know if you need help on this. This is not necessary and run contrary to the intention of the extension. The "external" file is used at installation time (aka runtime) to fetch the referenced binary. If I remember correctly, this mechanism was introduced to make it possible to create NBMs bundling libraries, not compatbile with GPLv2/CDDL and distribute these with the IDE/derived products. That also answers the question about the external file. This file has (a) not enough to content to be copyrightable by itself (IANAL!) and (b) I assume @jkost created the file, so he is author and in this case I don't see why it should not be ALv2. It _references_ non-ASF material, but that is also true for the OpenJFX integration. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
