[nebula-dev] Question about licences & packaging

[Laurent Caron <laurent.caron@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm currently working on bug 566 565 : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=566565

The idea is to use the jFreeSVG library (https://github.com/jfree/jfreesvg) and embed a swing object with SWT/AWT Bridge.

I've got some questions

a) The library is not a plugin. Should we use it as a "simple" library ? Should we create a plugin with the source code ?

b) This library is under GPLv3 licence. Is it ok if we use in Nebula ?

c) I'm also experiment a weird idea : port jFreeSVG to SWT. In this case, what is the process ? Is there any licence problem ?

Thank you for your answers.

Cheers,

Laurent
