Re: [logback-user] GPL+Classpath exception
I'm just curious... why did you decide not to use the Apache license for logback... ? ----- Original Message ---- From: Ceki Gulcu <listid@qos.ch> To: logback users list <logback-user@qos.ch> Sent: Tuesday, April 8, 2008 5:34:31 AM Subject: [logback-user] GPL+Classpath exception Hello all, After recent discussions on the logback user list, I tentatively changed the license of logback to GPL with a "Classpath" exception. The terms of GPL+classpath exception are identical to the licensing terms of Java 7. Your comments are welcome, -- Ceki Gülcü QOS.ch is looking to hire talented developers in Switzerland.

Logback is related to log4j, but it is not an Apache project. The difference in license is one way to get the point across. Moreover, LGPL or GPL+classpath exception are both valid and reasonable licenses for libraries such as logback. Arthur Blake wrote:
