Xinha: Ticket #1188: Using Xinha in an Eclipse project <p> Hi, I am considering use of Xinha in an Eclipse project. The Xinha license is compatible with the Eclipse Public License (EPL) I think, but to be able to use it, there is also the matter of 'provenance'. </p> <p> Provenance is the origin or source from which something comes, Provenance and the history of subsequent owners (also known as Chain of custody in some fields).” (Wikipedia) </p> <p> One way to track provenance is a contribution mechanism where there is a clear and consistent way to confirm that the authors of the code agrees to have their code distributed under the license. Is there such a contribution mechanism for Xinha? </p> <p> If there is no clear mechanism, can we confirm who authored the code and their consent to have the code distributed under the license? </p> <p> How did these authors contribute and agree to their contribution being used, is there an agreement, email confirmation, or something else? </p> <p> Is there a small number of developers or are there many? </p> <p> If there are a small number of authors, could we confirm provenance by having these authors answer few questions? could the Xinha project lead arrange that? </p> <p> My request maybe creates some troubles but if Xinha is approved by Eclipse Legal it will be used by at least one but problably more Eclipse projects. </p> <p> Thanks and Regards, Onno </p> en-us Xinha Trac 1.0.1 gogo Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:42:41 GMT status changed; resolution set <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> changed from <em>new</em> to <em>closed</em> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> set to <em>invalid</em> </li> </ul> <p> Not a bug, ask in forums. </p> Ticket
