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.
