Does jlatexmath's license permit its distribution with EPL licensed plantuml eclipse plugin? #49
Comments
From what I could quickly gather, EPL isn't compatible with the GPL2, so, not sure that you can. |
I'm wondering about the exception that was added to the jlatexmath's license some time ago:
|
yeah, if you use it this way, this might be good. |
Actually, the jlatexmath license clearly states that you cannot use it unless the entire software is GPL.
Without a classpath exception this makes it very hard to use jlatexmath at all. Maybe you should consider changing the license to something more useful. |
@turesheim I understood that the part you cited together with the part I cited both together are the class path exception. Compare http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception.
? |
My bad. I re-read that part and I think you're correct.
I believe by "derived from" and "based on" one means a new library that is either a fork or an extension of jlatexmath. |
