Follow-up Comment #5, task #4867 (project administration): Hi, i have observed that all the j2me related packages are released under a license called "Sun Community Source Licensing (SCSL)" the license is here(requires login; uploaded a copy here:http://www.geocities.com/iqbaltabrez/scsl.txt): https://sdlcweb3a.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/DownloadPage:~:com.sun.sunit.sdlc.content.DownloadPageInfo;jsessionid=4982E4B2204D24349991EC5A2E5A44A0;jsessionid=4982E4B2204D24349991EC5A2E5A44A0?viewLicenceId_5=
i read part of the document more than once but could not follow fully the complicated lingo used there, but i think the following is most relevant to my requirements: [quote] 2.1 a) Research Use License: (i) use, reproduce and modify the Original Code, Upgraded Code and Specifications to create Modifications and Reformatted Specifications for Research Use by You, 2.2 a) To Other Licensees. You hereby grant to each Licensee a license to Your Error Corrections and Shared Modifications, [/quote] here is what Sun has to say when downloading MIDP: http://www.sun.com/software/communitysource/j2me/midp/download.xml especially this is relevant: "[...]as well as compliant implementations running on Solaris and Linux platforms. These packages include the source code and binary runtime of J2ME MIDP,[...]" here is the source code of MIDP available for download(requires registration and login): http://192.18.97.251/ECom/EComTicketServlet/BEGIN6A0A6A62CD7A7955011C5986488359AD/105863979/1145718003/1/250382/250382/1145718003/xmzZndezB81HYlfGYdXI/westCoastFSEND/ESD3/commsrc/MIDP/2.0/midp-2_0-src-linux-i686.zip so i believe that Sun's J2ME may not exactly be Free software true to FSF philosophy, but it does give the users some basic freedom like looking at the source code, modifying and then releasing it to the others. is this license and the availability of the source code sufficient for me to be able to host my project at savannah? thanks, tabrez. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=4867> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
