[Building Sakai] Edia skin manager for Sakai 10 (license incompatibility)

[Mark Breuker]

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback.

I will check with Edia regarding the license.

Regarding the cluster aware issue: indeed, in the current version you do need to upload the skin on each node but in my opinion that is still far better than being depended on a system admin for uploading new skins. I think moving the files into the database can have a disadvantage performance wise over serving the files from the file system. But maybe this can be overcome with some caching mechanism?

Regards,

Mark

Edia need to be approached regarding the license. If they want it in the release they will change the license to be compatible, as an LGPL license for source code is incompatible with our current practice.

cheers,
Steve

Seth is right - LGPL is OK for jar files - not for source code.

I think Seth is right about this. As I understand it, we can only
include LGPL as long as we don't modify it. Not being able to modify a
tool is not really a situation we want to get into for core code.

Actually, it's LGPL, which isn't nearly as restrictive as the GPL.  I
believe Sakai is using some packages that are LGPL.

Sakai has only ever included unmodified 3rd-party libraries that use
the LGPL pursuant to:

https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/LIC/LGPL2.1

The Skin Manager is not a 3rd-party library or the like. so my opinion
is that the LGPL is a problem.
