Moin,

there are two things about building OOo that need to be clarified.

Currently we use "configure" to set the build environment. The way we are
doing it requires that a few GPLed files are part of our code repository:

acinclude.m4
aclocal.m4
config.guess
config.sub
configure

"configure" is generated from "configure.in" that AFAIK is owned by Oracle
and also resides in OOo's code repository.

How can we do that in a code repository hosted at apache.org?

This is most likely NOT a problem:

http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#build-tools
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-23

I was hoping for that. Excellent. :-)

So though these files can't be part of the grant from Oracle, we should be able to take them from the OOo repo under the (L)GPL, right?

Regards,
Mathias
