Re: [JBoss-dev] JBoss Licencing.
Only if you distribute it. If you don't distribute it then its not enacted. So if you hack jboss up for your internal systems, you're not obligated. If you distribute those to the outside world, you're obligated. However, take this advice for utter BS (and Juha's too, no offense). The best advice anyone can get regarding ANY software license is ask an attorney. As an experienced open source guy, the first thing I did when I started making any substantial amount of money was find an attorney. I can make a recommendation for one if you need one. -Andy On 8/21/03 6:21 AM, Juha Lindfors [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Subclasses would fall under LGPL, as far as I can tell, if they're distributed publically. -- Juha On Wed, 20 Aug 2003, Jim Brownfield wrote: I believe subclassing would also be OK, so if you need to modify functionality, you might be able to extend a JBoss class without making your code opensource. -- Jim Brownfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] Radical System Solutions, Inc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Burke Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 11:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [JBoss-dev] JBoss Licencing.

RE: [JBoss-dev] JBoss Licencing.
According to this post to POI-dev, Dave Turner (Mr License) of the FSF has decreed that the steps required to use an LGPL'd Java library will actually infect client code with substantial GNU-ness via Section 6 of the LGPL. (The Lesser GPL is supposed to protect only the Library, without infecting code using the library) This, as you might imagine, puts a few LGPL Java projects that previously thought they were embeddable without being viral in a bit of a bind. Various weblogs have further coverage. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART Update: 07/18 02:44 GMT by CN: The FSF's Executive Director, Brad Kuhn adds LGPL's S. 6 allows you to make new works that link with the LGPL'ed code, and license them any way you see fit. Only the LGPL'ed code itself must remain Free. Such 'client code' can even be proprietary; it need not be LGPL'ed.
