There is a *huge* difference here: Hunspell is MPL so we can use it. LGPL is category X: we can't use Gstreamer at at. We can keep the MPL stuff around but anything GPL we should consider extensions and move to apache-extras. The glue code that we can relicense to AL2 we will, of course. > This is an open question that > IIRC I already asked here on that list (at least I wanted > to do that ;-)). > There are bigger issues... but I'll keep them for later :-). > > Does that make sense? > One other thing ... we have to move-in the patch to use COIN-OR to replace lp_solve. The COIN-OR stuff originated (mostly) in IBM and is under CPL/EPL. We can treat it as if it were MPL but help from the IBM guys to relicense it to AL2 is welcome! (a SGA would be just fine, of course ;) ) In any case, and here I show my ignorance in OOo inner workings, I hope we can make the coin-lp solver compatible with the older lp_solve plugin here: http://code.google.com/p/scsolver/ cheers, Pedro.
