Seems we need written authorization for the second point. > The concern regarding copyrights for the schemas came to mind whilst testing > the geronimo eclipse plugin, eclipse prompted me to acknowledge the Sun > license at http://developers.sun.com/license/berkeley_license.html when > caching the j2ee schema files (e.g. > http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ). > I can't find anything to confirm that the berkeley license displayed by > eclipse is the correct license for the schemas. -- 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
