Right, thanks a lot for that reference. What Kirk is looking at doing via AdoptOpenJDK is: "Free copies of Apache NetBeans software under the Apache License and support services for Apache NetBeans are available at AdoptOpenJDK." Meanwhile, since Emilian has modified Apache NetBeans (added some

I believe so, but cannot confirm with 100% certainty. Is there a way we can provide this certainty, i.e., is this something we can decide ourselves or do we need to have this approved by Apache -- does anyone know? Thanks, Gj On Fri, May 31, 2019 at 3:12 AM Kodewerk wrote: > Hi Gj, > > Can

Yeah, I could be wrong. Maybe rebranding is not needed if indeed the binary is made from unmodified sources. Gj On Thu, 30 May 2019 at 23:11, Neil C Smith wrote: > On Thu, 30 May 2019, 23:02 Kodewerk, wrote: > > > I would personally prefer Apache-NetBeans… but I’ve been told that we > >

I love the idea of the Adopt project distributing NetBeans as "Adopt-NetBeans". The AdoptOpenJDK page makes it easy for newcomers to get started...and even easier with NetBeans as an option. On Thu, May 30, 2019 at 12:29 PM Geertjan Wielenga wrote: > “Adopt NetBeans” would not only be a name,

Hi all, The Adopt project would like to distribute NetBeans but we’ve yet to sort out what is needed to make that happen. For example, I believe we can’t call the distro Apache-NetBeans so we’re thinking of calling it Adopt-NetBeans. This implies that there a number of things we need to alter

NetBeans runs on JDK 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. But that's not the point in this discussion. The discussion is about installers -- and just to save some time here, we cannot bundle the JDK with NetBeans into an installer and then distribute that installer from Apache because the JDK is GPL licensed,
