Project offo distributes hyphenation pattern files for FOP
Dear FOP users,
In February 2004 a large number of hyphenation pattern files were
removed from FOP's CVS repository due to licensing issues. These
hyphenation patterns were contributed to FOP under licenses which
allowed their free distribution, but under conditions which were felt
to be in contradiction with the Apache license, under which FOP is
distributed. Most files are licensed under the LaTeX Project Public
License (http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/index.html), which requires
that no modified version be published under the name of the original
source file. For details see the FOP wiki page
(http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?FOPAudits/March2003).
I am please to announce that the hyphenation pattern files for FOP are
now made available by the project `Objects for Formatting Objects'
(offo) (http://offo.sourceforge.net/). They can be downloaded from
offo's project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/offo/). At this
moment the homepage of the project is not yet ready. Therefore the
overview of the hyphenation pattern files and their licenses is
available from my web site,
http://www.leverkruid.nl/FOP/hyphenation.html. It is also contained in
the package file.
Regards, Simon

I stated that contributions with any OSI-approved license or in the
Public Domain were acceptable. The discussion to get the idea
explained and this license statement accepted was lengthy. I took care
to state each license carefully in the covering page
http://sourceforge.net/offo/hyphenation.html. For a large part thanks
to Jeremias earlier work.

I'd be happy to spend some time on this. I've got a couple ideas and
will see if I can't come up with something soon.

Again, I'd be happy to oblige. I can also be another project
administrator if you'd like.

Thanks for the offer. It was some work to set this up, although I
could build mostly on Jeremias' earlier work. I expect that from now
on the project will not give me much work. The only thing that needs
to happen, is a nicer design for the home page and the page
hyphenation.html. Perhaps a challenge for the web master?
It might be a good idea if you or someone else of the FOP team would
also be a project administrator, to make it less dependent on one
person.
Regards, Simon

Moved from fop-user.
Simon,
Under which license have you set up the SourceForge project?
