I'm looking to integrate a JavaScript WYSIWYG editor into Wicket, similar to DatePicker. FCKeditor is LGPL, so I don't think there's a licensing problem. Any thoughts or advice before I start doing this?
I have no opinion (yet) on the technical merits of FCKeditor or any other editor. But, I'm not in favor of introducing LGPL as Wicket is under the Apache 2.0 license. LGPL really cannot be seen as comparable nor compatible to the Apache 2.0 license and in my opinion introducing it now might harm acceptability of Wicket in the end.
There are other options with more compatible licenses, although I don't know if they match FCKeditor on features and technical quality. For one, there is kupu which has a BSD-style license. I haven't used or worked with it myself, but I know others have embedded it very successfully in several CMS engines, like Zope, Apache Lenya and recently Apache Graffito which uses it for editing html documents within a JSR-168 compliant portlet. If you are interested: http://kupu.oscom.org/ Online docs are available from their subversion repository: http://codespeak.net/svn/kupu/trunk/kupu/doc/ Regards, Ate ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Wicket-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wicket-user
