the source of the (preliminary version of the) jcr api will be removed because of legal issues. the source of the final version of the api will of course be public available. note that the source of the ri is not affected by this, i.e. it remains in ./proposals/jcrri and will be maintained as the api evolves and matures. > As you are probably aware, we are a big user of your JCR-RI, with > Magnolia having surpassed 15000 downloads. well, this is on the one hand certainly flattering, on the other hand it scares me. the jcrri has never been released and represents 'work in progress', therefor you're using and distributing it at your own risk. i obviously can't guarantee any backwards compatibility as the api is still evolving and the persistence format, for example, is an implementation detail which may be changing until the ri is officially released. > May I assume that the JCR-RI > remains open source? as i mentioned: the final version of jsr 170 (tck, ri, spec) will be released under a license written by roy (which certainly will be apache compatible). stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
