It was being used to build Gradle itself, but no longer is. It is not included in the distribution. We forgot to remove the mention from the license file when we stopped using it. I've fixed this now. > Is there any plan to use it in the future? Not in the core. It may or may not be used at some point in the future in a 'subversion' plugin. So, this will mean that if you are not happy with the licensing, you can opt out and not use the plugin. -- Adam Murdoch Gradle Developer http://www.gradle.org CTO, Gradle Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradle.biz
