Licensing issues have not been entirely removed, <http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b>.
Code with Category B MPL license is accepted in ASF projects under very specific restrictions. Having to build the code from source, especially with modifications, is problematic. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Andrea Pescetti [mailto:pesce...@apache.org] Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2013 01:59 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: New license for libwpd, libwps, libwpg As you can see in http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwpd/files/libwpd/libwpd-0.9.7/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwps/files/libwps/libwps-0.2.8/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwpg/files/libwpg/libwpg-0.2.2/ the three libraries that OpenOffice was using to import WordPerfect, MS Works and WordPerfect Graphics files have now been dual-licensed; one of the licenses is MPLv2. Does this mean that we can include them back in OpenOffice if we wish to do so? If I recalled correctly, they were removed as of 3.4.0 due to incompatible licensing. Any reasons for/against including them now?
