Using hosted LGPL JavaScript
Hi all,
We're working on enhancing Pivot's documentation (http://incubator.apache.org/pivot
), and it would be nice to use a syntax highlighter to make the code
samples more readable. One such highlighter is available and quite
easy to use, but it is released under LGPL:
http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter
Obviously, we can't include this code in our distribution, but the
author apparently offers a hosted version:
http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter:Hosting
Would it be OK to link to this version from our documentation, or
would that also violation of the Apache license terms? For example,
the following would appear in the <head> tag of our documentation pages:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/shCore.js
"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/shBrushJava.js
"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/shBrushXml.js
"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/styles/shCore.css
"/>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/styles/shThemeDefault.css
"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
SyntaxHighlighter.all();
</script>
Thanks,
Greg

Slightly different, but I believe the implications may be the same. It
would seem that using the hosted JS files in our documentation is OK
(though, based on Sam's comment, we should probably flag the relevant
includes with comments so a reader could easily remove them).
Does anyone else see a different potential interpretation?

Is this any different than the answer given in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-19?
