Hi,
We won't ship GPL stuff directly, but note that whomever distributes
binaries for your system can.
In other words, both options that you mention are possible.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea what the future of this extension is going
to
be ? At the moment, it appears that the library used to build the
connector is under GPL2, which is not compatible with the Apache
licence.
The connector was previously built and delivered from within the OOo
source tree at each new version, and my understanding was that it was
OS
specific, i.e. a version had to be offered for download for each of
the
OSes to which OOo catered. So how will that now work within the new
Apache scheme of things ?
Does it mean that the connector extension can/will only be available
as
a compile time option, i.e. it will not be generally available for
download by users (like the "PDF Import" extension) ? Or can/must it
be
compiled by someone else and hosted elsewhere ?
As someone interested in the use of the connector for my daily work,
it
would be nice to have some kind of "official"
stance/declaration/feedback on this.
TIA,
Alex
