I didn't mean to come on too strong Shi - and I've seen you around, so I know you're working here - but know that most of the actual implementations of the payment processors have small steps that bring in the files that cannot be put back into OFBiz. So, if it's still a possibility, what the community would ask you to do in order to be able to commit it would be (and this is the same for PayFlow Pro as well):


1. Make all of the code files in OFBiz Apache licensed

2. Add an exclude in the accounting build file for Java files that are dependent upon their libs

-- If necessary
3. Add a writeup to docs.ofbiz.org that explains the additional steps
-- ie getting the additional libs and key files from the All Pay guys.

I hope this shows what I was saying - there will always be pieces of these implementations that are not compatible, but having them in the project other than the incompatible libs increases the chances of everyone getting to use them. Thanks and I look forward to your next response.


Cheers,
Tim

Yes, I know. Jasig has just changed its license to Apache license.

Apache has a very good reputation in China. Perhaps someday in the
future we'll have the courage to change our license to Apache :).

Tim,

As the component depends on Alipay's java files, I asked the Alipay.com

what license of the source files and got the reply that it's in a

license we can use them freely without viciousness. I'm not sure what it

is, so I used our default license.

We're trying to setup our own opensource brand, it's reasonable to

choose LGPL as we're NOT Apache, and LGPL 3.0 is compatible with Apache

License 2.0 for everybody.

BTW, there are a lot of outstanding opensources in LGPL and also useful for OFBiz, such as captcha, I think Langhua Opensource as a third party will be helpful for the community to fill the licenses gap. "There are

mountains, here is a valley" is our slogan and target.

We DO work with the community :).

Shi - why put this out LGPL?  Why not work with the rest of the

community and make it so it can be added to the project? Thanks for

doing the work, but please work with the community to put this in.

Cheers,
Tim
