But dameng8's jdbc driver can be downloaded from it's official website [https://eco.dameng.com/docs/zh-cn/start/java-development.html](url). So we can enhance the driver including specific class. Then it can't be hosted in the Apache, it is commercial, so no maven central address. They don't set up the license for their driver, so we can't determine our instrumentation codes are valid or not. Decompiling is a tricky way, you could do it, but SkyWalking and Apache Software Foundation don't want to take any risk about violating their IP, commercial license, or branding. If you want to open the implementation of a plugin for their driver, you could open it on your own repo. We are welcome you to post a blog on https://skywalking.apache.org/zh/ to talk about how to use it. The contribution has to be rejected. sorry. Hope you could understand the reasons we mentioned. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
