[classlib][Sound]Great News! Tritonus and Harmony can now join together!
Hi All,
Here is a great news that the two authors of the open source
java-sound project Tritonus[1], Matthias and Florian, have kindly
agreed that they can re-license Tritonus to be BSD or BSD-like
license, so that Tritonus and Harmony can now join together to build a
full-implemented sound module.
With Tritonus' help, Harmony can now have real-implementation of
java-sound, have can now have its own voice :) What's more, Tritonus
support variety of audio types more than stardard RI does ( though
some of them are GPL/LGPL, and we still can let users to decided
whether to download themselves).
I don't know if we need some further official steps, would some
Harmony PMCs help do this? Thanks!
Thanks very much to Matthias and Florian, and cheers!

In the lastest mail two author has agreed to execute the relicensing
in their CVS
repository and then submit the code to Harmony repository (Great,
isn't it! :) ). It may
take time that they still need to identify the parts originating from
3rd parties.
What's more, they have their own plan to keep the tritonus project alive as a
repository for the plugins, so it would be ideal to separate the Java Sound core
and the plugins in their mind. And then Harmony will "own" the core,
and tritonus
will maintain the plugins, which Harmony can integrate easily as
precompiled .jar
files (or with regular source drops from tritonus). It do make sense
to Harmony IMHO :)
So let's now wait a while for re-licensing. :)

No, they would not be licensing it under an alternative license just for
us, so I would expect to see a change to the licensing on their
distribution site, and we can create a dependency that picks the code up
directly from there under those terms.

Hmm, ok then we'll take it under the Apache License version 2.0 please,
since that will make the licensing of Harmony as a whole more homogeneous.

Tim

Hi,
So do we need to write a official letter or let them sign some
agreement? Or just let them send Harmony a copy of src code with BSD
license? Sorry I don't know much on such legal issues.
IMHO, BSD and apache license are both OK for this re-license. And
the two authors seems don't care about it much. :)

Nothing special, we should help to ensure the license they choose is
compatible, then wait until the relicensing is complete. Then we can
make it a dependency for our sound implementation.

Indeed.
