Normally we would deploy our software on to the customers servers themselves; if I put the MBean on to the JBoss server to allow monitoring of some JMX attributes that would probably be distributing it, and it would be linked to our software within JBoss. We could get our customers to install the MBean etc on their servers but we would have to run all that past our lawyer; so far we have not used any GPL software and I cant see it happening. Is the MBean different from other Java libraries licensed with LGPL?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If the licensing is (non-library) GPL I cant use it to monitor our commercial software.
How would you like to use it?
Include the MBean into the software distribution itself?
