Boris Kraft commented on MAGNOLIA-540: -------------------------------------- Andreas, thanks for pointing this out - for us it was not problematic because we own a copy of the book :-) Do you have time to check if the alternatives would suffice, and provide a patch? Thanks, Boris > problematic com.oreilly.servlet package license terms > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAGNOLIA-540 > URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-540 > Project: magnolia wcm > Type: Task > Versions: 2.1 Final > Reporter: Andreas Brenk > Assignee: Boris Kraft > > > The WAR file download contains Jason Hunter's com.oreilly.servlet package in > the WEB-INF/lib directory. Its license terms (see > http://servlets.com/cos/license.html) are problematic I fear. > Especially items 5 and 6 are currently violated: > "5. The distribution includes copyright notice as follows: "The source code, > object code, and documentation in the com.oreilly.servlet package is > copyright and owned by Jason Hunter." in the documentation and/or other > materials provided with the distribution. > 6. You reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions, and the > following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided > with the distribution." > Both "license.txt" and "release notes.txt" contained in the WAR file download > do not mention anything demanded by the terms cited above. > A problematic second point is the license for commercial usage and > redistribution as every developer must own a copy of Jason's book or > negotiate a seperate license. > Jakarta Commons FileUpload (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/) is > a possible replacement at least for some functionality. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.magnolia.info/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia/developer.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
