[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-428) Integration of GELF Appender

["Gary Gregory (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-428?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14129893#comment-14129893 ] 

Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-428:
-------------------------------------

Let's see where we are here...

[~mikael.staldal@home.se]:
- I'm sorry to ask again, but can you provide a patch in the unified diff format. I cannot use Eclipse to apply the current patch because it tells me the format is invalid. That would make life easier.
- What is your relationship with the company that backs GELF, if any?
- Should only GELF 1.1 be supported? What about 1.0?

All:

The GELF specification is here:
http://graylog2.org/resources/gelf/specification
The page at the bottom has "© 2014 TORCH GmbH. All rights reserverd." [sic]
Is this in conflict with the Apache License? IOW, can we create code that writes out messages in a format that is not open-source?
