Hello
Mika,
What
kind of users would you expect to use these binaries?
Can
every ordinary user get such a Nokia terminal easily, and use it for
programming?
Can
ordinary users download these libraries from some Open Nokia server right
now?
I'm
wondering whether the Open Source Eclipse Framework is the right place for
such vendor specific programs. In my understanding, the charter of the
Eclipse foundation is to create Frameworks and Exemplary tools to support
vendors creating their specific tooling.
As
such, I'd rather not expect vendor specific binaries in Open Source. There
is an exception, of course, if you think that these libraries would provide
a very good example to show ISVs how the APIs can be used in order to extend
the framework. Was that your intention?
Your
license also talks about "Source Form". Would you include the sources for
your libs with the contribution?
The
license does read similar to the EPL. Do you see a chance that Nokia would
proivde these libs under EPL?
Cheers,
--

Hi,
I
would like to get your vote to include two binaries to MTJ so that we can
start due diligence process.
Those
binaries are CONA.jar and COnnJNI.dll and they are used to connect MTJ to
Nokia PC suite, which is needed in deploying applications to Nokia
terminals.
I.e.
without these binaries it is not possible to move application from Eclipse
to a terminal.
Those
binaries are owned by Nokia and copyright text is listed below.
