Re: [iot-pmc] Pre-requisite request for libuv

[Jens Reimann <jens.reimann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok,

so from my understanding this is ok as a "prerequisite". Since it is a
library, it _should be_ a non-exempt pre-requisite. However that
decision is made by EMO. The license must still be compatible with the
EPL (which seems the case).

However distributing the library from Eclipse servers (including wiki
and git) is not possible.

So for Linux that should be OK, since you can add a dependency using
"deb" or "rpm". For Windows you would need a separate way, or only offer
downloads from your own server.
