Ah, I did not realize this, as CQ 22696 states: "We have now received confirmation from the board that javabdd:1.0.1 is approved for distribution under the LGPL-2.0-or-later license. We will proceed to approve this CQ." I assumed it was thus fine to also distribute it at Eclipse Orbit under this license, as no exception is indicated.

I guess not.

Does this mean we can put it in the Eclipse ESCET GitLab repository, bundled as an OSGi bundle? And build it ourselves, and distribute it as part of our update site and product?

Regards,

Dennis

JavaBDD was approved by the Eclipse Board of Directors for use specifically (and exclusively) by the Eclipse ESCET project.

Unfortunately, this means that it can't be put into Eclipse Orbit.

Do you have a motivation beyond good housekeeping for putting this content in Orbit?

Hi all,

I'm trying to contribute JavaBDD to Eclipse Orbit. See CQ 22696 (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22696).

I'm following the same steps as for XChart and Java Diff Utils that I contributed earlier to Eclipse Orbit.

I'm running into some issue since this is an LGPL-licensed library. When trying to do a build I get:

...

None of the listed licenses is 'GNU Library General Public License v2 or later', 'LGPL-2.0-or-later' or something similar.

What can I do to resolve this?
