Graham,
One minor problem I've notices is with the javadocs [1]. They mention Graham Lea as the copyright owner which is not accurate. The SLF4J license is very liberal but it still protects the original copyright notice.
I realize that you are acting in good faith. AFAIK, the javadoc tool target does not allow you to set different headers/footers for different groups. It would be nice if the the copyright notice in the javadocs mentioned the correct copyright for the SLF4J classes. It's a minor detail since you already include the SLF4J copyright elsewhere.

I've just released a SLF4J implementation that integrates with Simple Log (https://simple-log.dev.java.net/). As I've never combined two open source products with different licences before, I'd appreciate it if someone can confirm that I've done enough to conform with the SLF4J licence. Here's what I've done: - Imported all the SF4J java source files into my code base. - Kept all the copyright and licence statements as they were. - Deleted everything under .impl except for MessageFormatter. - Modified LoggerFactory and added my name to the @author tag with the following note: "Graham Lea (modifications for Simple Log)" - Created my own Logger and LoggerFA implementations, with my own copyright statement and specifying Apache 2.0 as the licence. - Compiled all of these and packaged them into a single JAR - The jar includes the Apache licence under meta-inf/simple-log and the SLF4J licence under meta-inf/slf4j - Put this JAR into my main release ZIP, under an adapters/ subdirectory - Copied the slf4j licence into that same subdirectory - On the downloads page, where the adapter JAR can be downloaded independently of the release ZIP, published a link to the SLF4J licence directly beneath the JAR link, with the statement: "Portions of the SLF4J adapter are Copyright (c) 2004-2005 SLF4J.ORG and are covered by the SLF4J License." (See https://simple-log.dev.java.net/downloads.html) I've just realised that there's no reference to the SLF4J licence in the README. If you'd like me to add one, I'm happy to do so. Please advise whether you believe I have conformed with your licence or if you think there's something I should have done that I have not done. Thanks very much, Graham. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://slf4j.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
