Hi all, For the Apache OFBiz project (ofbiz.apache.org), we are regularly asking the same question about license on selenium rc, in order to integrate the jar into our project. Apache Foundation rules are very stricts about licenses (http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html), and when looking inside the selenium-rc jar, some files are not graduating for inclusion.
A long time ago, these issue was created inside our jira instance : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-680?focusedCommentId=12470728&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12470728 It's still true for the files mentionned. So, what we have : cssQuery is licensed under LGPL -> migration to sizzle would do the trick util.js / dom.js / xmltoken.js / xpath.js (in core/xpath/) are licensed to Google, and written by Steffen Meschkat <me...@google.com>. Would he agree to choose an Apache-2 compatible license ? snapsie.js does not have a licence header scriptaculous does not mention a license, but a quick question to the Apache legal team should give us the answer. The sizzle issue has already been created : http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=336 This email is sent after some tweet exchanges between Simon, Hans and me, as we were talking about licenses. 140 chars is a bit too small for this ! Cheers, -- Erwan de FERRIERES
