I'm concerned about some files which were recently committed to the ljo branch: http://exist.svn.sourceforge.net/exist/?rev=10949&view=rev The files were released under the Apache 2.0 license, which is not compatible with the LGPL v2 (or 2.1). The rest of the code is licensed under LGPL v2 (or later). I am not a lawyer, so this is not a legal analysis, but my impression is that changing the license for eXist to LGPL v3 (or later) is an option because v3 is compatible with Apache 2.0. Or, a more difficult approach would be to release eXist-ljo under LGPLv2.1 or later, and eXist+ljo under LGPL v3 or later. Another option may be to ask the copyright holder(s) on the xqgrammar software (Nikolay Ognyanov, et al.?) to release their code under a dual license including LGPL 2.1. And I guess yet another option would be to find or write another compatible xqgrammar. Does this make sense? Luigi |
