As some of you dev's might be aware cos's licence is rather restrictive REDISTRIBUTION RIGHTS 4. The distribution is not part of a software development kit, operating system, other library, or a development tool without written permission from the copyright holder. which begs us to question whether we can redistribute it without retrieving consent first. This is something I would like to do, but feel it is better to come from someone who is 'officially' a member of gentoo-java. (ie a dev) Now.... Stripes ( a library similar to struts/strecks ) has permission to redistribute the cos library. Would anyone have any compliants if, at least initially, stripes used its bundled cos jar? Also would anyone be interested in contacting cos-licensing@servlets.com regarding this (if you havent already). Thanks Alistair -- gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list
