Licensing and other issues

  • Regarding the issue raised in last board report of how to handle provisional OSGi API in Felix bundles, we have decided for now that the best approach is to avoid it and use our own parallel API structure or subclassing where appropriate. Our provisional OSGi API policy is documented at http://felix.apache.org/site/provisional-osgi-api-policy.html in our developer documentation.
