We'll its not quite as simple as that. All other JBoss tooling is EPL
and Drools stuff isn't, it's ASL. However the new synchronisation code
for the repository is considered "generic" tooling and they want to put
this under the EPL, as it's not owned by Drools team. Mixing EPL and
other license in the same svn repository is apparently a bad idea, so
I've had a request from the JBoss Tools people to do a complete
re-license to make things easier. Now we can continue with the Drools
owned parts staying ASL and other bits being EPL, but you'll still have
a product with muddy waters due to mixed licensing - I think it's
unlikely I'll win the argument to ASL any generic parts if they
happened to be used with Drools. But I wanted to put this out to the
community for open debate on the pros and cons. I don't consider the
EPL to have the same political issues to the LGPL, so I'm personally
less concerned about the political issues.<br>
