Hi Mike,
Is there a map/list of EPL compatible licenses defined
somewhere?
It is very interesting how EPL deals with eclipse project
dependencies to projects released under other licenses.
In the eclipse.org/stp project there are dependencies
to projects that are released under Apache license and some of those
projects (Apache CXF) even packages other projects that are released
under CDDL for example.
I see that the Orbit project already contains projects
released under Apache 2.0 licence, Apache 1.1 license, BSD style license, IBM
Public License, Common Public License 1.0 - are all of these compatible with
EPL?
Is it a requirement for a third party library to be
used inside an eclipse project for this library to be in the Orbit list? Is
eventual license compatibility (w/ EPL) enough?
Too many questions:) but hope they are not that hard to
anwser.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bogdan
Janet,
Were
you aware that Teneo was prereq’ing LGPL code?

Mike,
Teneo
was fully reviewed by Janet in its present form, i.e., with these known
dependencies. It does not redistribute any GPL/LGPL code; the necessary
jar must be downloaded separately by the client. Hibernate is a very
popular technology, so providing integration for it has great value, despite the
licensing concerns.

Teneo
also supports JPA and JDO. Note that Shaun Smith and Stefan Eberle (two
guys working EclipseLink) were recently added as committers to Teneo so that the
overlap between their EMF persistence work for EclipseLink and Martin's EMF
persistence work for Teneo can be reconciled into more cohesive overall
solution. There is overlap, but also lots of complementary things.
It's a great example of how well our community functions. (Martin's
support for clients on the newsgroup is remarkable!)
Note that
extended capabilities such as those provided by Teneo are what's helping
to make modeling so popular:

Ed,
I’m sending
this to you as the project leader for EMFT.
I stumbled
across Teneo this morning and
would like to make you aware of an issue with it that needs to be resolved.
Teneo’s dependence on Hibernate --- which is licensed under the LGPL --- is a
problem, as the LGPL and EPL are incompatible. Is there not another open source
persistence solution (Castor, EclipseLink) which can be used instead?
