[jira] Commented: (LEGAL-54) Resolved.html should discuss optional dependencies.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-54?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12874074#action_12874074 ] 

Sebb commented on LEGAL-54:
---------------------------

I don't understand the following query - seems ungrammatical, and "them" seems ambiguous.

"Q. Can Apache projects rely on components whose licensing affect them if they don't distribute them? "

> Resolved.html should discuss optional dependencies.

> I recommend something like the following.
> Change the answer to "Which licenses may NOT be included within Apache products?"
> Apache products may not require components under the following licenses. 
> ...
> Q. Can Apache projects use components under prohibited licenses for optional use?
> Apache project must not distribute works under a prohibited licensed or require a work under a prohibited license
> to perform functions essential to normaloperation. However, projects may use LGPL licensed works in optional
> features that are not enabled by default. 
> Apache projects may also use components under a prohibited license as part of the project's build process or on their web site where they meet all the legal obligations of the license.
