Hey Lewis, Is it a static dependency on that library? Or simply runtime? I've used Joshua and I think it is a runtime dependency. In this fashion, we could also ask for an exception due to the below.

We are currently in conversation about potentially transitioning the Joshua project [0] to the foundation. Our current conversation is ongoing at [1]. >From one of the key developers of Joshua, the following question has arose; There is an issue with an LGPL'd library for handling language models (KenLM <https://github.com/kpu/kenlm>). There is an alternative (BerkeleyLM), but it is not actively maintained any more and is not quite as good as KenLM in a few key respects. A quick glance at the incubator page suggests that this dependency would keep the project from becoming a full-fledged one. Can you comment on this? Thanks for any input folks Lewis [0] http://joshua-decoder.org/ [1] https://github.com/joshua-decoder/joshua/issues/204 -- *Lewis* --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
