Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org hi, I was researching a bit alternatives to dojo e.g. YUI or separate widgets like a tooltip developed and distributed under GPL license and found some comments from Struts contributors mentioning that because of those widgets being GPL they could not be considered ... I am absolutely not an expert in the subject but having a project under GPL v3 (and researched and read a bit on it) one of the main advantages of v3 was the major revision that lead to compatibility with the Apache v2 license projects see My question is then, would this mean that if e.g. a widget is distributed under GPL v3 it could be used and distributed with Struts 2? Maybe it would be worthwhile to clarify this, as it could mean wider freedom of choice integrating existing GPL v3 projects with Struts ...
