does the GPL ognl restrict commercial distbitution??
Hi I know tapestry itself is commerical-business-friendly,
but I noticed ognl is GPLed. I know in the Tapestry license
there are some arrangements that allows Tapestry to
be distributed, but am I completely in the clear incorporating
it into a commercial product?
Thanks,
-Jim

OGNL is not GPL. It is a BSD-like license. So redistribution should be
clear.
