| [che-dev] Clarifications on what will/will not be open sourced from the Codenvy subsystems as part of Red Hat acquisition |
Hi In http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/che-dev/msg02259.html, Tyler wrote: "As part of the Red Hat acquisition of Codenvy, Red Hat is open sourcing certain Codenvy subsystems related to security, authentication, and persistence that will move into Eclipse Che.” Could someone from the core team please clarify what that means? I don’t see any information on that on the Roadmap page on GitHub (https://github.com/eclipse/che/wiki/Roadmap). I am interested to see how this would affect the Che 6 deliverables and timelines that have already been mentioned. Here are some specific questions that I have. 0) What does “open sourcing” mean? Currently Codenvy is under the Fair Source License which means that the source is already available for use under special situations. Moving forward, are you changing the license to the EPL? 1) When you mention subsystems, are you talking about particular maven modules e.g., https://github.com/codenvy/codenvy/tree/master/wsagent? 2) Are there any subsystems that you don’t plan to open source? It would be nice if the Che roadmap page be updated to reflect that information as well. Thanks! |
