Hi Fabian, all, a quick summary on behalf of STLab people for clarifying with regard to the Stanbol software that is developed here.
The current OWL API release used in Stanbol is Release 3.2.3 and it's dual-licensed. Hence, there is no problem in including the OWL API. I had a further confirmation from OWL API developers who told me that if any of the test files do not include an explicit mention this is just a typo. We have full support from them. For what concerns Hermit, it cannot be released with dual license because it has other dependences on LGPL-licensed components, hence we gave up! We have planned to re-implement the Stanbol/reasoners component basing it on Jena, but this won't be ready by the first official release of Stanbol. The only components relying on Hermit is Stanbol/rules, and AFAIK ontologymanager/store. Stanbol/reasoners will be included in a next release. OWLlink will be released with dual license, but yet this didn't happen. I'll solicit them but I wouldn't expect to have such release before August 20th. Currently we are working on fixing a bug in the integration test, and refining documentation of rules. We also have a demo for rules to be included in the release.
