Sencha ExtJS
Dear Legal Discuss,
We are exploring the possibility to use the extjs java script library for a web ui.
We do not plan to modify the extjs code, but just include it via a runtime dynamic load via a CDN url.
For example:
{snip}
<script charset="utf-8" src="http://cdn.sencha.io/ext-4.0.7-gpl/ext-all.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://cdn.sencha.io/ext-4.0.7-gpl/resources/css/ext-all.css">
{/snip}
There appears to be an exemption to their GPL license:
http://www.sencha.com/legal/open-source-faq/open-source-license-exception-for-applications/
Is this possible to include in our source code? If so, is there anything specific we would need to do/what out for?
Thanks,
Pei

We chose instead to develop on top of one of the Apache web frameworks,
namely Apache Wicket.
Obviously it's not quite the same sort of thing as Ext. But it has
sufficed to date.
There is another integration under way with DHTMLX, which as you know I am
sure is a rather closer competitor to Ext. Because of DHTMLX's license
restrictions, this work is being done outside of Apache, though will be
open sourced.
Thx
Dan

Hi Isis Dev,
I was just curious on the approach you've taken regarding Ext.
Did you end up looking for another alternative to ExtJS? Possible recommendations- jQuery?
Thanks,
Pei

I don't see any other discussions of ExtJS since the previous discussions that you mention.
I think Ralph summed things up pretty well in the Jira.

I see nothing that changes this.

I don't see any other discussions of ExtJS since the previous discussions that you mention.
I think Ralph summed things up pretty well in the Jira.

It looks like there were some discussion about ExtJS some time ago last year [1] by the isis project.
I am curious if the stance is still for Apache Projects to stay away from Ext or if there were some news about at their exceptions since last year.
It would be a shame to try and replicate some of the functionality via jQuery.

It looks like there were some discussion about ExtJS some time ago last year [1] by the isis project.
I am curious if the stance is still for Apache Projects to stay away from Ext or if there were some news about at their exceptions since last year.
It would be a shame to try and replicate some of the functionality via jQuery.
