Dear All,
We have looked around the JDOM license.
http://cvs.jdom.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jdom/LICENSE.txt?rev=1.8&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
We are trying to finger out if the license is compatible or not with the
GNU General Public License.
The "promotion" clause is optional this is a good point. But regarding the
point 3 and 4. This could be a restriction to a distribution (so to user
freedom).
Is there an "official" statement regarding the compatibility of JDOM
license with the GNU General Public License ?
(Maybe to add that on the gnu web site ?)
Thanks.
