Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT porting

[Steve Northover <Steve_Northover@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Kris!

I can't answer (a) because I'm not a
lawyer but I personally would view (b) in a very positive light.  There
are ports out there of SWT to C# and the library has been called from Lisp
and the E language.  I would suggest you contact members of the Eclipse
PMC about legal issues.  We are lowly developers.

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] SWT porting

I'd like to port SWT & JFace to a different
language (other than Java), and the license appears to allow one to do
so. However, I'd like to confirm that such an endeavor (a) is legitimate
from a licensing perspective and (b) would be viewed in a positive light
by SWT team.
 
The port would be open-source, and the goal
would be to maintain an identical API from a user/developer standpoint.
The question is, with whom should I discuss this with? Is this the right
place?
 
Thank-you;
