回复: [numbers] Complex to use code ported with a permissive licence

[Xu Jin <xe...@gmail.com>]

I mean create a non-apache project (named tempProject0 for example), and which contains the original license from that code(named license0 for example) and the modified source code of that function.
and apache-commons-numbers just depend on project tempProject0, and USE functions in tempProject0 , but does not contain any code related to that source.
in this way apache-commons-numbers is just a user of tempProject0, thus does not need to add license0 into apache-commons-numbers's license.
Only tempProject0 has to make its license be license0 , but that will not pollute apache-commons-numbers.
although I'm not sure if this way be morals to do so, it does not break any rules IMO.

What new project are you talking about?
If it's an Apache project, it must use the Apache license; if it's not,
we'd be in exactly the same position (i.e. determine how to comply
with that license in an Apache project).

Or I must be missing something...

Hi.

Is that really easier?

Given that "Commons Numbers" should is a "zero dependency" project...

But there is no problem adding "licence0" in the "LICENSE" file (if
the license is acceptable for an ASF project, as is the case here).
