IP review of previous versions of SVNKit have determined that there are
"difficulties associated with licensing and pedigree".
The TMate license has been determined to be incompatible with the EPL; this
is--essentially--a full stop with respect to any effort to distribute this
library from Eclipse.
There is potential to have this library declared as a "WORKSWITH" on the basis
that Hudson works just fine without this library, but has enhanced
functionality if the library is present. The wrinkle is that the library cannot
be distributed from eclipse.org (i.e. it cannot exist in our code repositories,
or download server). It may be used to compile as part of a build on our build
server as the build server is not accessible to the general public.
FWIW, the Subversive project uses SVNKit in this manner. The first time you use
Subversive, they open a dialog box that invites the user to download SVNKit
(among other options); at that point the user is required to accept the license
explicitly.
Do you want to move forward with this as a WORKSWITH? Let me know if you have
other questions.
