DO NOT REPLY [Bug 118674] New: IP clearance: Make category B code optional

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118674

             Bug #: 118674
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: IP clearance: Make category B code optional
    Classification: Code
           Product: external
           Version: OOO340m0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: www
        AssignedTo: st@openoffice.org
        ReportedBy: af@a-w-f.de
                CC: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org


Apache distinguishes between category A code, which we are free to use, and
category B code, for which there are some restrictions (see
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.htm for details.) (there is also a category
X, but that code has been/will be removed)

Category B code must be activated by default.  Only when explicitly enabled by
the developer can it be compiled and integrated into a binary install set of
OpenOffice.

This issue is about providing such an option to the configure (.in) script.

The libraries under a category B license (MPL, mostly) according to the
IP_clearance wiki page are:

seamonkey-1.1.14.source.tar.gz     
hunspell-1.2.9.tar.gz     
hyphen-2.7.1.tar.gz     
nss-3.12.6-with-nspr-4.8.4.tar.gz     
silgraphite-2.3.1.tar.gz     
source-9.0.0.7-bj.zip (saxon)     
rhino1_5R5.zip (soon rhino1_7R2.zip)

Added a new switch named --enable-category-b that enables the libraries/modules
hunspell, hyphen, saxon, rhino, beanshell, and graphite.  The automatically
generated variant --disable-category-b is also available, but since this is the
default, there is no need to use it.

The moz and nss modules require additional information to be enabled.  Either
provide them with other switches or use --disable-mozilla along with
--enable-category-b.

The SVN revision of the changes is 1215131.

getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
