https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/ipclearance.html Task 1: Clarify legal usage of Category B (eg MPL) libraries Binary builds of libraries can be shipped with binary release of AOO. Source code of libraries can remain on an Apache server but (like ext_sources of old OOo.) BUT * source code of libraries is not shipped in a source release of AOO * instead it can be downloaded and built during bootstrap, but only when developer uses a configure option that is off by default [end of quote] that's why rev. 1204995 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1204995 introduces: --enable-hunspell - off by default --enable-hyphen - off by default * Category B sources are not included * Using system/building Category B libraries is off by default Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
