Re: Licence camel-raspberrypi

[Christian Müller <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hello Greg!

No, that's not possible from my point of view. Please have a look at [1].

I think the Apache Camel Extra project is the right place for this
component.

Can Apache projects rely on components whose licensing affects the Apache
product? Apache projects cannot distribute any such components. However, if
the component is only needed for optional features, a project can provide
the user with instructions on how to obtain and install the non-included
work. Optional means that the component is not required for standard use of
the product or for the product to achieve a desirable level of quality.

Hi

Yeah unfortunately it seems pi4j embeds wiring pi binaries in their
releases which then "affects the licensing terms".

In fact I think its misleading from pi4j saying its ASL2 and not
clearly saying they binary link and include LGPL3 work.

I posted a question about this on their user forum
