References: In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact mauve-discuss-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: mauve-discuss-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2006-q1/txt/msg00027.txt.bz2 The packages for testing org.omg classes contain the source code from the currently the most probably dead cost.omg.org CORBA open source testing suite that was originally released under LGPL license. To integrate into Mauve, I of course needed to modify the code (the original test versions just prints messages to console). This means the license conversion into GPL. If we change the license, all such tests should probably be removed, and the Harmony project should also think about this. Event if they get the alternative CORBA implementation from somewhere else, it still needs a test suite to prevent degradation due subsequent develompent. cost.omg.org is written by several serious companies. I would take for me another year to write such thing from scratch, it is not much simplier than the implementation itself. The opponents of GPL license should think if they really want to reject this valuable resource as well. Audrius Meskauskas
