If I use bundles from Felix, will my application be tied to the Felix framework?

No. The Felix community is very serious about creating technology that is "pure" OSGi. This means that we will always strive to make sure our subprojects work on all OSGi framework implementations. The Felix framework provides very few "containerisms", so there are generally no "special" Felix features available on which subprojects may depend. Even though it is common to use the name "Felix" to refer to the Felix framework, in reality the framework is just one subproject in the Apache Felix project. All subprojects are intended to be used either together or separately.

Note that not all subprojects are tested on all available OSGi framework implementations, but it is the goal for them to run on them. Any difficulties in doing so should be filed as bugs in JIRA. Additionally, due to specification ambiguity, it is possible the Felix framework may exhibit different behavior than other implementations, but this is normal; if in doubt, file a bug. In the future, it is also possible some subprojects may require Felix, but they will explicitly state this fact.
