The proposal, as I read it, doesn't address the license status of third party software dependencies.
The one time that I endeavoured to build OOo from source, it had a long list of mandatory dependencies. Reference http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html. While some of them might qualify as 'part of the platform', my experience at the time was that the build required very specific versions of various GPL dependencies which were not provided on current Linux distros. it might make sense for the proposal to at least state a strategy here --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
