RE: [birt-dev] Can we include BIRT runtime with Apache OFBiz.
|
The concern on the EPL licensed code is :
under the EPL license it is allowed to re-distribute small amounts of
source like javascript and jsp's when it is unlikely it is changed.
In Birt there is an entire javascript library (30+ files) which could
not be considered a "small amount of source" even if it is unlikely to
be changed in anyway.
that is why we ask specifically from you guys the approval to include
the runtime in Apache OFBiz.
Regards.
Hans Bakker.
