RE: [higgins-dev] Open ID Context Provider: Checked In

I did not say anything about "no linkage to non eclipse -redistributable libraries" my statement was on IPR of the libraries, in that we should be only using libraries that have IPR acceptable to Eclipse as a general policy.

I guess that seems limiting to me. Is this how all eclipse projects function (no linkage to non eclipse -redistributable libraries)?
I mean, I know it's also limiting in another way to produce components that require deployers to fetch libs from other projects, and we should avoid that where possible, but to tie our own hands from being free to produce useful components by this policy seems somewhat counter-successful.

From a project point we should be using IPR that is acceptable to Eclipse. I don't support this project using LGPL code or code that is not approved under the Eclipse IPR

Regardless of the outcome of this, it seems there will likely be CP's or other components which will consume LGPL or other 'non-eclipse-friendly' licensed code. All this means is that we cannot redistribute those libraries from within the eclipse project, right? Or is there something that limits us in other ways?

Duane,
It is great that you got an OpenID context provider working in time for BrainShare and we appreciate that you are now working to get the OpenID context provider in shape for contribution to Higgins. Thanks for updating the Components page of the Higgins wiki so that we can see what we are dealing with.
Tony is quite correct that LGPL will not fly with Eclipse legal. We need to find another solution. Are there other packages that are similar to Jericho? Even if we could get the Jericho folks to dual license Jericho, that might not solve the problem, as Jericho was originally written in LGPL by people who are not associated with Higgins.
-Mary.
