I'd still rather not include depencies on other projects into the core. Even more if they are problematic license. And last not least - I'd not like zope bringing its own sqlite libs where I might have some in my python install already. I'm definitively -1 on including it in the core, no matter how usefull it migh appear. +1 in the list of suggested 3rd party products with "easy install" ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

We would only care about licensing when distributing binaries that include sqlite, no? The sources must be part of the distribution so loading the package is not an option for me. But as Chris pointed out Sqlite is really free software. Since you volunteered (didn't you? :-) ) one should ask Jim about the license issue . Then the source should go at some location on svn.zope.org. The same applies to the SqliteDA (it's ZPL..maybe one should contact the author as well)that's should not be too hard. So I am +0.75 to include Sqlite with Zope 2.10 (already deprecating Gadfly in 2.9 (I created already a copy of the ZGadyfly product on svn.zope.org). -aj pgpktnFtMjN75.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Re: [Zope-dev] Re: [RfC] Removal of old stuff in Zope 2.10
sqlite is public domain code, FWIW. I doubt this is incompatible with the ZPL. It would just require an acknowledgement from ZC that it's "safe" to be included in a Zope distro. - C On Dec 22, 2005, at 11:14 AM, Rocky Burt wrote: Andreas Jung wrote: --On 22.
