Hi Mechtilde -

That is so, but that does not exclude us from sharing under the Apache License 
v2. It is extra special if we received a contribution back shared under that 
same license.

We are after all an Open Source Software project dedicated to the public good.

Committers to all Apache projects have contributed a license to their work and 
have licensed their copyright under the ICLA - 
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf

Oracle and IBM both submitted Software Grant agreements for their software and 
resource donations. http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant-template.pdf

 I've looked at the text and couldn't find any reference for it origin;
 except a little hint at the very end. But this is also in the original 
 text.
 
 It would be correct to state clearly - also on the beginning - where the
 parts are coming from. Also because the copied text parts are really
 big; or maybe it's a complete copy. But I haven't read it word for word.

Well, I'm surprised by the answers and life is just to short to argue
over this type of thing.

OK - I'll drop the boilerplate stuff from the first two pages and
replace it with my own boiler plate.

That's it and the offer to you guys stands - you are welcome to any
part of this you have a use for.

Best wishes,

Drew

Hello,

as I know the copyright went from Sun to Oracle and then to the ASF.
This include beside the Code of AOO also the wiki.openoffice.org.

So now th ASF is the copyright holder.

And for all persons who weren't employees of Sun or oracle have there
own authorship which isn't transferable.

Kind regards

Re: NLPSolver wiki page

To be more responsive:
The first 2 pages are basically just a copy of the old wiki page -
with edits to remove references that make no sense for us (ie no need
to install an extension).
The text in that section is also either generic information about
solvers or specific information on the two solvers from Sun. I've
added to it a section of generic information on CoinMP.

The tables with API interfaces has been reformatted for the Sun
Solvers and new information added for the other three supplied
solvers.

The example section is just about a total re-write. The example is 100% new.

NLPSolver wiki page

2020-05-21 Thread Drew Jensen
Howdy,

Last week I began looking at the documentation at the LibreOffice wiki
as it pertained to the Calc solver engines supported, and supplied by
the office suit. What I found was that the most prominent reference
was to a page back on the AOO wiki
ttps://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/NLPSolver

I thought it worth while to create a proper content page over on the
LibreOffice wiki, two main content reasons; 1st - the AOO is specific
to the NLP extension from Sun and wanted to expand it with information
on the five different engines available in a LO vanilla install
(w/java) of which the NLP engines are only two; 2nd - there is a link
to the SDK API documentation for the Solver service information which
needs to point to the proper SDK.

I decided to use the content from the AOO page as a jumping off point
and to change and expand it. A draft (nearly done) of that work is
available for review here:
https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/ebisHjZo2rowM4Q

Two reasons for this email.

Today in our documentation team meeting I was asked how you folks here
felt about me using the AOO content as the jump off text. I said I was
sure you wouldn't mind and that I would ask to be sure. So - this
email. (note I've kept the license information from the AOO page in
the new draft document with regards to the two NLP extension solvers -
with a minor change to the text, so please check that out)

Second - in the draft you will see that I've included a reference to
an MIT tutorial on solvers and supply a Calc file with a simple script
which executes the solver model from that tutorial. The example Calc
file with the script should work just fine with AOO and if you folks
are interested I would be happy to share this for use on the AOO wiki
page, or anything else in that draft change.

That is the long and short of it - questions/comments welcome and let
me know if you would like to use any of the content on the wiki here.

Best wishes,

Drew
