[recommenders-dev] About the license issue of the incubator project
|
Hi,
I am Cheng Zhang, a PhD student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who is very interested in the Eclipse Code Recommenders project.
My colleagues and I have developed a prototype of a parameter guessing engine, named Precise, and now we are trying to make it an Ecilpse Recommenders Incubator project as described in:
The project is current maintained by two undergraduates and the code still needs refinement.
But in the first place, I have a problem with the license: our project is using Weka as the machine learning engine, but Weka is under GPL license.
It seems that we have to replace Weka with other machine learning tools or implement the algorithms by ourselves. So far we have come up with two possible solutions:
1. Use Apache Mahout. Mahout is under Apache License, Version 2.0. Since we have little knowledge about license issues, we are not sure whether this license is permissible in the incubator project or not. Could anyone give some guidance?
2. Reuse the machine learning component in Eclipse Code Recommenders. Also I am wondering whether this solution is feasible.
Any comment or suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you!
Best,
Cheng
