Re: [tinyTiM-discuss] Apache License for tinyTiM?

[Markus U. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi,

as I noted on #topicmaps (log should be back soon, grr), it doesn't seem too
easy to determine this, cf.
http://tapestryjava.blogspot.com/2007/03/t5-spring-integration-hibernate-next.htmland
the looooong discussions regarding "Compatibility of the ASL and LGPL
(... in the specific case of Java)" from different mailing lists.

In short: "GPL guys" say: they are compatible, "ASL guys" say: no, they are
not.
There's a module called "tapestry-ejb3" which at a time "got bitten" by
this, cf. Howard Lewis Ship's blog post above. Maybe you could ask him
directly whether this has been resolved or investigate the whereabout of the
forementioned module...

Ad astra, Markus
