Geoff - 

How cool is that?  I'd be absolutely geeked to see reactor used in such a
prominent location!

I know that I am lacking information in the current release related to the
license.  However, Reactor is LGPL.  I believe LGPL and CPL are compatible.

Does this give you what you need?

Doug

Subject: [Reactor For CF] Reactor Licensing; integration with FarCry CMS

Doug,

Have spent the weekend playing with Reactor.. it's a great effort.
Thou art mighty :)

I'd like to start investigating the integration of Reactor into the
FarCry CMS [1] code base to assist with our ongoing development.

Technically it seems like a good fit.  My only concern is the code
base licensing and whether or not its compatible with the Common
Public License (CPL) we have released FarCry under.  I can't see
anywhere what license (or licenses) you are going to release the
project under.

CPL [2] is the IBM endorsed license [3] that Eclipse was released
under. It allows for derivative works [4] without a requirement to
contribute back to the source.  This makes it incompatible with GPL
for example.

Obviously Reactor having a CPL license would be ideal, but many other
licenses would also allow for us to distribute Reactor as part of the
FarCry code base.  Have you had any thoughts in this area?

Best regards,
