Although these exceptions ma= y appear to be addressing the restrictions disallowed by the ASF's first an= d second license criteria, the exceptions may only apply to software not "d= erived from or based on" the covered work. This references terms defined in= the GPL that include works that "use" or "contain" the work." > Allow Lucene to include GPL-with-classpath-exception-licenced JavaFX as a= dependency > -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----------- > > Key: LEGAL-396 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-396 > Project: Legal Discuss > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Steve Rowe > Priority: Major > > Luke, a non-Apache-hosted piece of software, is under consideration for d= onation as a module to the Lucene project: https://issues.apache.org/jira/b= rowse/LUCENE-2562 . Because in its initial incarnation it depended for its = UI on Thinlet, which uses a non-Apache-compliant license, it was rewritten = to use JavaFX to allow it to be donated to Apache. > With JDK 8 (Lucene's currently supported Java version), JavaFX/OpenJFX is= shipped inside rt.jar (i.e. bundled with the Java runtime). On other vers= ions it is not included at all and in Java 10 it's now part of the Java mod= ule system. > Starting with Java 11, JavaFX is no longer shipped with the JDK, and will= be available via an external dependency available e.g. through Maven Centr= al repository. Related: https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/issues/5= 2 ("run JavaFX app using maven/gradle with Java 11") > From https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Main : > > OpenJFX is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License= with Classpath Exception, just like the JDK Project. > This license ^ is listed under Category X on https://www.apache.org/legal= /resolved.html#category-x , and as a result, once Java 11 (ETA September 20= 18) becomes a supported Java version by Lucene, which is likely to happen r= elatively soon given Oracle's new Java versioning policy, Lucene will not b= e able to release with Luke as a module in its current form. > Can an exception be made for Lucene to include JavaFX/OpenJFX as an exter= nal dependency? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: legal-discuss-unsubscribe@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: legal-discuss-help@apache.org
