The infancy is related to both the RFC 112 and even more to the
current implementation. There is no plan to finalize it at this moment
in time.
Personally, I think OBR is one of the biggest missing pieces in the
OSGi story. However, I am a one man company that has too many
different things on its plate :-( and I seem to be not capable of
getting the commercial companies interested to work on this or fund
work on this. I guess another tragedy of the commons case. We all like
to have it, but nobody is willing to fund it.
As far as I know there is nothing specific R3 in it, but you will find
it out by trying :-)
About licensing, there is currently in the OSGi een RFC
(implementation) about a Bundle-License header that should address some
of your needs.
Kind regards,
Peter Kriens
