Re: [incubation] License compatibility for SISSL and EPL
|
Erwin,
SISSL [1] has not been previously used or approved for use at Eclipse.
Our process (defined in Section A of [2] if you are interested) requires
that new licenses be unanimously approved by the Board. Based on a
preliminary review of the license, it looks like the license should be
okay. As with all licenses, adherence to the license terms would be
necessary and a special note should be made of the requirements of
Section 3.1.
So in other words, if you want to use this SISSL-licensed dependency, we
can probably make it work. The first step would be to open a CQ to get
the IP team started on the necessary reviews and license approvals.
Hope that helps.

Dear all,
For Triquetrum we want to include (optional) connectors to grids /
distributed resource managers.
This would be done via the DRMAA api [1] and corresponding
implementations for different grid implementations.
For DAWN (not its Eclipse project part) I have already repackaged the
DRMAA v1 api as an OSGi bundle, and in the meantime we have
implementations available for SGE [2] and SLURM [3]. Others could be
added when there's an interest. I would like to contribute this work
to Triquetrum.
The DRMAA v1 API was originally licensed with the so-called SISSL [4]
which has been retired in the meantime.
The implementations could be brought in with an EPL license.
Questions :
- is the SISSL compatible with an Eclipse product delivery?
- can I include/contribute the API bundle in the Triquetrum repository
as sources?
- if yes, can I then maintain the SISSL header/license?
- if not, can it be included as a "works-with" 3rd-party dependency?
thanks!
