Hello,

Hi,

Could you please add a  webmvc-struts package (under ASL 2.0 license)? I
have  attached to  this  email a  patch which  add  the jar  in its  own
package. I'm currently using it without any problem.

Thanks for your contribution ! I'll merge it to SVN.
[And I'll check this into my local spring 3.0 work]

Also, I'm  wondering why  webmvc-portlet is not  included as  well (just
curious...).  According  to   debian/README.Debian,  it's  because  it's
non-free,  but according  to the  source files,  everything  is licensed
under the ASL 2.0, is there any reason which makes it non-free?

You're right : Spring webmvc-portlet source code is licenced under ASL 2.0 (like all Spring source code).

There is two issues here :
- Portlet 2.0 API (javax.portlet.*) is not packaged as a Debian package
- AFAIK, this API is not licenced under a DFSG-free licence :
  * http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr286/index.html
* it's just "open source" (copy and display right grant) but no modification right
  * so we can only provide it under non-free
