Regarding GPL licensed plugins: I guess there will be a need for 2 plugin repos. One 'core' for plugins which are ALv2, another one for the rest. Similar to what we had with apacheextras.
Of course this gets much tougher for parts Oracle cannot re-license under ALv2 but are needed by the core. lieGrue, strub > On Tuesday, 13 September 2016, 12:12, John D.
