Hi Curt, I've already replied to your "Dependencies in SVN" thread in more depth on couchdb-dev@ [1] so I'll only repeat the essentials here. To summarise: Niclas is correct in that there is no problem with bundling third-party dependencies with an ASF project as long as their licenses ar

2009-08-09 Thread Curt Arnold
I've been using CouchDB in my personal development and have recently started trying to get up to speed with the project itself. I've brought up a few issues on d...@couchdb.apache.org where I encountered things that were a bit unsettling. There has been follow up discussion, but no resolu
