Felix,
I will not be able to use your aggregated bundle, and I think Graham would
not be able to either. The problem is the license for the "org.json"
package which you are proposing to embed and export, which contains the
following unfortunate sentence:
"The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil"
While that may sound reasonable, I wish you luck finding two lawyers who
agree on the definitions of "good" and "evil".
This dependency is why I cannot use Webconsole 4.0, whether or not you
import the package or export yourself.
Regards,
Neil
