[technology-pmc] Re: Third party dependencies in ACTF project (Java APIs

Kentarou,
The Technology PMC approves of this approach and defines this as an exempt pre-req. The key decider issue for us is that ACTF works without these jars, thus products built on top of ACTF do not require this other-licensed code. I will annotate CQ 2086 with these comments as well.

As in the CQ2086 (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2086), 
to open the OpenDocument Format (ODF) files in the Eclipse editor, our OOo 
Editor plugin uses OpenOffice.org (OOo, the most commonly used ODF editor 
published under LGPL). The OOo Editor plugin automatically detects the 
existence of OOo in the user's machine, and it dynamically links to the 
required jars to call APIs of OOo. 

Is this dependency categorized into "exempt pre-req"?
