Legal Advise required for Axis2 C project on using third party software
Hi,
For Axis2 C project we need to use a third party WSDL Parser.
We have considered using Wsdl Pull from source forge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/wsdlpull)
which has LGPL license.
We do not wish to ship Wsdl Pull with our source. We will write an abstract
C interface and the third party Wsdl Parser can be used after writing
a wrapper layer to conform to that interface. So what we plan ship is
our abstraction interface and the wrapper layer which includes
dependencies to the third party software (In this case Wsdl Pull).
In our build process, in configure time we would be giving the option to
build with or without
Wsdl Pull. If user configure with the Wsdl Pull option then (s)he needs to
download Wsdl Pull and provide include paths before building Axis2 C.
Please advise me whether the above scenario is OK with Apache Licensing.
Thanks
Damitha

How does this square with your comment that:

Do you or do you not need to use a WSDL parser? Is this optional? If it is
not optional, what alternatives are there to the LGPL package?
