Re: Microsoft patents XML based script automation?

For that matter, would James' use of XML to configure matchers and mailets into a mail application be considered scripting? We have posted examples of using Sieve scripts within an XML CDATA block. It is hard to see Ant being affected as its publication precedes the filing date for the patent, if that is relevant. Not sure about the other projects. The patent seems pretty silly to me. I would argue that it fails even the most basic novelty test for a patent, but IANAL, of course. Also the patent seems to be narrowly focused as it mainly seems to cover a method for facilitating the identification and selection of the one or more scripts for execution IOW, collecting scripts into an XML file as opposed to using XML as a scripting system. Ant's script task, however, would seem to be in the same ballpark - a system for having scripts in different languages in an XML file (in this case an Ant build file). The original CVS commit for the script task was Revision 1.1 - (download), view (text) (markup) (annotate) - [select for diffs] Sun Mar 19 03:35:48 2000 UTC (3 years, 10 months ago) by rubys which also precedes the filing date for the patent so I guess that might qualify as prior art.

Re: [i18n] Internationalization project

AFAIK, the incubator is for all new code coming to Apache whether it is destined for an existing project or it becomes a new Apache project, so called TLP. This is from the original board resolution RESOLVED, that the Apache Incubator PMC is responsible for regularly evaluating products under its purview and making the determination in each case of whether the product should be abandoned, continue to receive guidance and support, or proposed to the board for promotion to full project status as part of an existing or new Foundation PMC; and be it further Rather, creation of the task force team (mailing list) might be preferable... Also, it is similar to the creation of Incubator Project itself last year, I guess. The creation of a new Project/PMC would require a board resolution. That may be one outcome of incubation as indicated in the above quote. Conor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [OT] Replcated JDBC stuff with Apache-like license
Noel J. Bergman wrote: That doesn't help if the reason for subscribing is to allow one's apache address to send mail to the list. In this case it comes because our CVS commits go to our dev mailing list, so I have both my personal and apache addresses subscribed to avoid moderate requests. It'll be fixed when we separate to have a separate cvs list. Just have the list moderator allow your apache address and no more moderation is required. It's an option on each moderation request.

Morgan Delagrange wrote: OK, Java-specific question. It seems likely that altering or inlining LGPL code pollutes the Apache license. Are you of the opinion that IMPORTING but not altering or distributing LGPL classes pollutes the Apache licecnse? And if so, can that be stated on the Wiki page? If LGPL code cannot be imported, it's pretty much useless in any capacity for Java projects. Refer to Roy's messages of yesterday. Importing is enough to disallow the code from use within ASF code. http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]msgNo=1419 http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]msgNo=1429 Conor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
