[jira] [Commented] (SLING-4463) Resource Editor :: Find out if/how I can use npm (the node package manager) even if it uses the Artistic License 2.0.

["Sandro Boehme (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4463?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14340793#comment-14340793 ] 

Sandro Boehme commented on SLING-4463:
--------------------------------------

I checked http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html and the Artistic license is neighter listed as forbidden nor as an allowed license. 
It is an Open Source approved license (see http://opensource.org/licenses/Artistic-2.0) and as I assume the Resource Editor or its users dont distribute npm packages I assume the distribution is not a problem. But this probably has to be checked by somebody else.

> npm's Artistic License 2.0 applies terms on which a npm package can be "copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed" additional to the license of the package itself. See https://www.npmjs.com/policies/npm-license.
> From my understanding I neither distribute (sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) nor aggregate (section 7) nor modify (section 11) the packages. 
> But instead use them (section 1), link them (section 8) or "merly extend or make use of" them (section 9, 10). 
> I extend packages by overwriting css or less rules and link them from my less files, JavaScript files or HTML files.
> But I'm not remotely a laywer. This is why I wonder how to find out if I can use npm and it's Artistic License 2.0 in Sling.
