RE: [xwiki-dev] Considering a licence change

I don't have this understanding.. For me you are not shipping any code of XWiki in your plugin.. Extending a class is not "linking".. Now I agree that it's better to share the same licence.. So would you be willing to relicence in LGPL or ASL if we change the XWiki code licence. In the end I tend to lean towards the LGPL with a clear message saying that embedding is clearly not a problem. That you can write your own proprietary plugins or extensions.. The only restriction is that if you take code from the LGPL packages then you have to contribute your modifications as LGPL too.. We could also double licence GPL/LGPL. I'd be happy to know what the community feels about potential proprietary competitors getting the benefits of some code of XWiki without giving back..
