If you are actually considering physically integrating the ant-contrib.jar-file like before, please bear in mind the consequences for the licensing of Qt Jambi. Ant-contrib is licensed under the Apache license, which I believe is a GPL3-compatible license, but incompatible with LGPL and GPL2. I may be wrong about this, but as far as I could see, this is the case. Any user of Qt Jambi who currently depends on either LGPL or GPL2 will thus not be able to use this branch of Qt Jambi, as the new branch would have to be licensed under GPL version 3. The bottom line is that commercial users of Qt Jambi will not be able to upgrade to the community version and therefore not to Qt 4.6, which I would consider a significant downside. As long as ant-contrib is available on all supported platforms, I don't mind adding a dependency on it for the community version, but I would vote against adding the actual .jar-file to the repository. -- Eskil _______________________________________________ Qt-jambi-interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-jambi-interest
