I'm looking at the latest version of the Third Party Licensing Policy for the ASF at: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
Here it spells out which licenses are acceptable for use in ASF products, and which, I am assuming can be used "as is" with proper attribution where required. This document does not mention obtaining permission from an author or entity the way our current project information does. See: http://openoffice.apache.org/contributing-code.html I would like to change this paragraph in the above document-- --from "The code must be under the Apache License 2.0 and it must be contributed by or with permission of the original author(s) of the code. Dependencies on third party libraries should be discussed on the dev list, to see how these can be brought into conformance with ASF policy." --to "The code must either be under the Apache License 2.0, or must be licensed with a license compatible with Apache License 2.0. See http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html for compatible licenses. Other proposed code that does not meet either of these criteria should be discussed on the "dev" list to see how it can be brought into conformance with the ASF policy." If there are no objections to this change, I will put it into place on Dec. 26th. -- -------------------------------------------- MzK “I appreciate failure.
