| [polarsys-pmc] Works with designation for Polychrony CQ 8664 |
|
Greetings PolarSys PMC. The POP project has made a request [0] to use a third-party library that's GPL-v2 licensed. The project does not intend to distribute the library, but rather make use of that library should it be available on the user's workstation. Polychony is necessary when an user want to compile its model defined in SSME under POP : it is quite similar to CDT (C/C++ eclipse environment) that requires a C/C++ compiler. In the future, POP will also provide some translators such as AADl to SSME. I believe that this is a reasonable request for a "works with" dependency as described by the Guidelines for the Review of Third Party Dependencies [1]. The Eclipse software does not require the third party software to be present. If the third Per the guidelines, the PMC is required to discuss the request and determine if it technically meets the required definition of "works with". I believe that it does. Discussion and/or +1 approval requested. I believe that this is our first request for a "works with" dependency. If there are any questions regarding the nature of this sort of dependency, let me know. Thanks!
