Yes, I did presume that the case at hand involved incompatible licensing or the source code could be used in the Apache project without any fuss. A Category B Java Package dependency would be awkward but I presume surmountable. -Original Message- From: Ross Gardler [mailto:rgard...@op

I follow the exchanges with great interest. To make a few things more clear: - All Camel extra components are optional and we do not deliver/release/deploy it with our normal Apache Camel releases (and we do not plan to do this). - As package name, we use org.apacheextras.camel.xxx - As Maven grou

Luciano's account identifies a clean, bright line between Apache Extras and any Apache project. One point of clarification, however, since I see this statement repeatedly. It is clear that an Apache Extras project should not *deliver* packages or components on any org.apache.xxx... clas

I'm replying to the original message as this thread seems to be taking a different direction. Based on the Apache Extras guidelines snippet below: Projects hosted on Apache Extras are not considered official Apache Software Foundation projects and they are also not associated, allied, or otherwis

Perhaps I can help here. The root of all this, as I understand it, is an optional dependency. There is, of course, code that depends on the optional dependency. However, no one has mentioned any *source* code that is under an incompatible license, such as modified sources of an LGPL component. Th

I agree with Ross. In my understanding the whole issue is a non-issue anyway. See [1]. You are very well allowed to give users instrucions on how to obtain and install OPTIONAL components to your main product that are dependent on software with incompatible licenses. You are just not allowed to in
