Re: [cloud-dev] JavaScript Runtime Libraries

["John Arthorne" <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tyler,

If they are required, as in the software
will not function properly if you do not call that exact library, then
yes that is a dependency and requires a CQ. It doesn't matter if the script
is loaded at build time, runtime, or even if the users have to install
it manually themselves. Having said that, there are various categories
of dependencies that require a CQ purely for documentation purposes, but
don't actually require any legal analysis by the Eclipse Foundation ("works
with" dependencies, and "exempt pre-requisite dependencies").
 There is a handy document that describes how dependencies are handled
here:

https://eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf

The only exception that comes to mind
is dependencies in software that is never distributed. For example, dependencies
in your build, test infrastructure, project web site, etc, where the software
containing the dependency is never actually distributed on an Eclipse download
page.  All such dependencies don't require any legal analysis. For
details see:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/IP/Test_and_Build_Dependencies

If you're in doubt about a particular
case you can always fire a question to the foundation legal staff.

Hope that helps,
John

_javascript_ Runtime Libraries

Question - should _javascript_ libraries which
are required for your product, but not loaded until the application is
running in a web site, be filed with a CQ?

If we have a _javascript_ application that
is using gulp & bower to dynamically download JS libraries at runtime,
how does the foundation treat such requests?

I'm assuming that Orion project has run into
this scenario...
