RE: [hibachi-dev] Re: Hibachi Conf call minutes 17 april 2008

Title: New Page 1

Hi Bjorn,

 

We are aware of the situation, but I I didn’t make it clear in the minutes I sent out. The distribution I referred to of course will not be hosted on the Eclipse servers.

 

 BTW, am I correct in believing that there are some restrictions as to using the name “Hibachi” due to trademarking?

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

Tom, et al,
Currently the Eclipse Foundation does not allow any GPL'ed code to be distributed from eclipse.org servers. Thus a Hibachi distro that includes GNAT/GPL or gnuada could not be hosted at Eclipse under the Hibachi project. These legal reasons are why Doug's Wascana is not an Eclipse project. A Hibachi distro that works with a pre-installed Ada compiler is fine as long as the distro does not require a particular compiler. FYI. (If you have further questions about these policies, please do not hesitate to ask.)

9) It is Hibachi's intention to create a complete self-contained
Ada/Eclipse development environment "distribution", like Doug Schaefer's
Wascana. This will allow people to start quickly with Hibachi, which given
the fact that many Adaists are not (yet!) Eclipse enthusiasts, will allow
them to quickly and easily try it out. The question arises as to which Ada
compiler to include, GNAT/GPL (Libre), gnuada (sourceforge). Gnuada seems to
have the nod for platform support as well as the possibility of the team
(MacAda included) contributing to Hibachi and possibly taking ownership of
the distribution.
