Re: [ebxmlms-general] SourceCode Missing

[Patrick Y. <kc...@ce...>]

Hi Jason,

Maybe the word proprietary is confusing, which I should avoid. I mean not
open source. We do not see any problem for an open source project to use
non-open library, as long as the license permits the project to use the
library.

For example, if a project should connect to Oracle as backend database. Will
that project cannot go open source because it use some proprietary
component?

Regards, -Patrick
