Scott,
i am trying to solve it the other way around. If they give us the
approval (= license) to include it in OFBiz, then we do not need an
clarification of the EPL license terms inside apache.
Also they seem not understand our problems, they state:
let us know and we will keep trying to help
You'll really need to direct this to the legal mailing list, I'm not
a lawyer and I have no idea what sort of exception they would need to
make and what form it would take. All of my opinions have been based
on the assumption that we would change to fit the licenses and not the
birt team
Hi Hans,
If you have a problem to include birt in OFBiz due to license problem
you can create (or we can with your patch from trunk) an addon and
integrate it in integration server. When the problem will be resolve, we
convert birt addon for trunck merge.
Do not hesitate to ask me if you
So you are not willing to discuss this with the eclipse guys and help me
solve a problem you came up with and seems to be blocking.
This is how i solved the docbook license problem and got an approval
from the owners because all this licence stuff is a pain in the butt not
only for us but also
Hans,
It is not that I won't help but that I can't, I am not a lawyer and am
not going to pretend that I know more about this stuff than I actually
do. All I have done up till now is read the rules from the link I
gave you and apply them to what you have in the branch. There is no
Hans,
I don't think Scott, does not want to help you. He simply explained that this
was out of his competences and he asked you to contact
the legal team. What is the problem with that ? Anyway at some point it seems
that this will be needed...

hi Hans,
In worst case, if the legal issue cannot be solved, what's the next step?
Can you setup a new project in sourceforge specifically for Birt
integration?
It seems quite a lot of people are looking forward to the integration.
BTW: Put the license issue aside, why you chose BIRT as report
Hans,
I really think that you should post this question to the ASF's legal list, not
only for Birt but also for docbook, now that you mention it.
Also please include the dev list as cc.
Their review of this two license questions will definitely help to solve the
problem and make us feel much
Well said

+1 - please take ALL of this to legal so we do not start using
something that then gets ripped out of the project. It is what legal
and frankly the ASF are for - to protect us and everyone using the
software.

Hi Scott,
The files you have problems with, are in the Birt viewer we did remove
now because not really important for the report runtime.
Do not ask me to go to legal to explain the problem you reported,
English is my second language and I am not the person to discuss (US)
legal problems with.
Hi Sott.
can you help?
You brought up the licensing concerns. We tried to talk to the licensing
people at Eclipse and i am trying to solve a licensing problem as a
middleman i do not understand.
Could you please clarify with the people at lice...@eclipse.org and in
particular
Hi Hans,
I can try to help but I'm not sure I understand, nothing is in
question on the Eclipse side, birt is licensed EPL end of story,
asking them to change their license would be like someone asking us to
change ours. The issue we're facing is compatibility of the ASL with
the EPL
