[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2307?page=comments#action_12428896 ] Jason Dillon commented on GERONIMO-2307: ----------------------------------------
Um, so how would we go about making our own versions? Open up a text editor with theirs, open up a new file and then type what we see? > Include appropriate license for the Sun j2ee schema files that are > redistributed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-2307 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2307 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: buildsystem > Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.1 > Reporter: John Sisson > Assigned To: Geir Magnusson Jr > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.1.1 > > > Geronimo redistributes the Sun J2EE schema files for deployment descriptors > etc but doesn't appear to include anything in the global license file about > it. > The following two statement in the copyright text in the schema files (e.g. > http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ) concern me: > * This document and the technology which it describes are distributed under > licenses restricting their use, copying, distribution, and decompilation. > * No part of this document may be reproduced in any form by any means without > prior written authorization of Sun and its licensors, if any. > Considering the first point, we need to determine what license the files are > under. 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. > The following is a checklist to help track what has been done, in case > someone wants to help out :-) > (x) = not done (?) = partially done (/) = done > ||trunk||1.1||1.1.1||Notes|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/application-client_1_4.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/application_1_4.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/connector_1_5.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/j2ee_1_4.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/j2ee_jaxrpc_mapping_1_1.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/j2ee_web_services_1_1.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/j2ee_web_services_client_1_1.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/jsp_2_0.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_4schema/web-app_2_4.xsd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_2dtd/application-client_1_2.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_2dtd/application_1_2.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_2dtd/ejb-jar_1_1.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_2dtd/web-app_2_2.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_2dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_3dtd/application-client_1_3.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_3dtd/application_1_3.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_3dtd/connector_1_0.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_3dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_3dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd|| > |(x)|(x)|(x)|./j2ee-schema/src/resources/schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans/src/modules/j2ee-schema/src/j2ee_1_3dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd|| -- 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
