jARIA license

[Joseph Scheuhammer]

Chris,

Regarding (2) the Fluid licence, that's not right.  Fluid is dual 
licenced under BSD and ECL 2.0:
http://source.fluidproject.org/svn/LICENSE.txt

Short answer:  no.  But, I am not a lawyer either.  As far as I know, 
the LGPL is compatible with Fluid's licensing policy -- Fluid can link 
to the jAria code, it can re-distibute the code, and, I believe is 
legally allowed to contribute to it (that is, contribute to an LGPL'ed 
project).

Your question is possibly, although unlikely, more apropos jQuery in the 
sense of whether jQuery plugins must be licensed in the same way as 
jQuery itself (which is the dual MIT/GPL licence).  I think LGPL is 
sufficient for that as well (it's compatible).
