| The ManifoldCF Meridio Plugin is required for the Meridio authority connector |
| to properly work with a Meridio system. Its function is to provide lookup of user |
| ACLs that is fast enough to actually use. Unfortunately, although work on |
| the plugin was directed and paid-for by MetaCarta, Inc., under terms where |
| MetaCarta, Inc. technically owned the source code, the source code was |
| never transferred to MetaCarta, Inc., and the compiled plugin installation package is |
| all that is currently available. Although MetaCarta, Inc. granted the compiled |
| plugin installation package to the Apache Software Foundation, this does not |
| meet Apache's guidelines for what "open source" should mean. |
| |
| The Apache ManifoldCF project has thus chosen to move this installation package for this plugin |
| to the Google Code package called "manifoldcf-meridio-plugin", until such |
| time as we can obtain the source files or redevelop them. You may obtain |
| the plugin and its applicable licenses by checking out a URL using |
| Subversion (svn), as follows: |
| |
| svn co https://github.com/DaddyWri/manifoldcf-meridio-plugin.git/trunk manifoldcf-meridio-plugin |
| |
| License and building instructions are to be found in this package, and installation instructions |
| can be found right here in the file "Installation readme.txt". |
