If it's ASF licensed code, then having the source code in our repository isn't a problem. BSD licensed code is pretty much equivalent. However, In projects where the source code is being maintained somewhere else, I really don't like keeping duplicate copies of all that source in separate files in our workspace -- it's a maintenance issue. I'd rather take the following approach: If we can redist the binaries with no problem according to its license, then we can check in a .jar file containing the classes on a frequency that we're comfortable with. -- James Duncan Davidson duncan@x180.com !try; do()
