Yes, this is what I remember from LGPL. But anyway, swank-clojure is not LGPL, it's GPL.
I re-read my original post, and it seems clear to me : I stated I wish to embed swank-clojure files into clojure-dev plugin. Anyway, I'll rephrase my question differently : Given that : - Clojure-dev's (an eclipse plugin I'm a contributor of) license is EPL. - swank-clojure's license is GPL Can the following be possible without breaking the GPL ? : - Embed swank-clojure source code in clojure-dev's source management system (svn) - Release clojure-dev as an eclipse plugin (that is a jar with clojure- dev classes, swank-clojure files) Precisions : - There will be no compile-time linkage between clojure-dev code and swank-clojure code. - Clojure-dev will have a new functionality given the user the ability to start (from its eclipse environment) a new java/clojure environment (in a fresh JVM) that will load swank-clojure (from the files distributed with clojure-dev plugin) at startup - Then clojure-dev will be able to communicate with the clojure environment running in the fresh JVM via swank-clojure remote calls Maybe this is a no problem. Thanks in advance to anybody that will demonstrate it's feasible or it's not feasible, -- Laurent On 30 déc, 23:55, "Mark H." <mark.hoem...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Dec 30, 10:26 am, Phil Hagelberg <technoma...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > lpetit <laurent.pe...@gmail.com> writes: > > > I'm not sure.
