[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1639?page=comments#action_12425797 ] Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-1639: ----------------------------------------------
It probably depends on what the "made available" refers to. I read it as the Derby release itself,, and thus Derby can only be used for testing and evaluation. This seems to be against the ALv2. Can you take this question to legal-discuss? Ie. is it ok for the NOTICE file to have this text (restriction?). > Include early-draft notice required by JDBC 4 spec license in NOTICES, > release notes and documentation > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-1639 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1639 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Documentation > Affects Versions: 10.2.0.0 > Reporter: Andrew McIntyre > Assigned To: Rick Hillegas > Fix For: 10.2.0.0 > > Attachments: derby-1639-notice_v01.diff, derby-1639-notice_v02.diff > > > from the license: > 3. Distribute applications written to the > Specification to third parties for their testing and > evaluation use, provided that any such application > includes the following notice: > "This is an application written to interoperate > with an early-draft specification developed under the > Java Community Process (JCP) and is made available for > testing and evaluation purposes only. The code is not > compatible with any specification of the JCP." > This notice needs to be included in the NOTICES file, and should also be used > to frame discussion of JDBC 4.0 features in the release notes and > documentation. > Here is a RELEASE NOTE for inclusion with this issue. I am editting this note > into the Description field so that we can amend it if necessary: > ----------------- RELEASE NOTE -------------------- > PROBLEM: > Derby 10.2 exposes an implementation of an early draft version of the JDBC4 > specification. > SYMPTOM: > This issue only affects you if you are running the Derby network client or > embedded server on Java SE 6. This issue does not affect you if you are > running Derby on J2SE 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5. > When run on Java SE 6, Derby's network client and embedded server expose JDBC > implementations which do not conform to an approved, final version of the > JDBC specification. Instead, these implementations adhere to an early-draft > version of the JDBC4 specification. Please note the following: > This is an application written to interoperate with an early-draft > specification developed under the Java Community Process (JCP) and is made > available for testing and evaluation purposes only. The code is not > compatible with any specification of the JCP. > SOLUTION: > A follow-on release will expose JDBC4 implementations conforming to the final > draft of the JDBC4 specification. > WORKAROUND: > Run Derby on J2SE 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5 if you do not want to use experimental, > early-draft JDBC4 interfaces. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
