Zope/Python packaging of ExtJS

[j1m]

I've recently released a Python package that facilitates use of ExtJS in Python and, especially, Zope applications:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.extjsresource

First, I wanted to let y'all know about this. Second, a question...

I've packaged this as a "source" release. When someone installs the Python package, Ext gets downloaded from the extjs.com and included in the installed Python package.

I could also release "binary" packages that actually include Ext distributions inside them. These would be easier for some folks do deal with because they can be installed even users are off line and, of course, they reduce load on extjs.com.

Do the extjs powers that be have a preference for whether or not I should include ExtJS in my package distribution?

Any software development libs that include Ext should include installation instructions with a link users to ExtJS.com to get Ext for themselves. Similar to how GWT-Ext does it.

I realize this is very 1998 linux'ish, but this is the only way to ensure that Ext maintains the visibility it deserves when being used to create applications/user interfaces and ensures the end-user developers are aware of the Ext license and support options.

In the future, please direct licensing questions to licensing@extjs.com.

OK, thanks. I didn't realize this was a licensing question. :) I'll follow up to the email address above.
