Re: [birt-dev] Can we include BIRT runtime with Apache OFBiz.

[Hans Bakker <mailinglist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The concern of the message below are license concerns.

one of our committers found that:

could you please clarify these concerns?

Thanks in advance,

Hans Bakker, Apache OFBiz committer.
