Thanks for pushing this forward, Ian! In had hoped to have more time for this in January, but all these grant proposals are coming up :-/
+1 to move biomoby-activity out to extras. I think it also depends on the monster biomoby.jar which shadows lots of libs of various licenses. I think Dmitri has access to the biomoby registry hosted in Spain, do you have any access numbers, Dmitri..? I think for CDDL of the XSD files we want to keep it as "binary" so it is clearly not source code that can be modified under AL2 - while we want to keep it as dual license so much it remains usable from GPL (e.g. AstroTaverna). Perhaps the ideal is to move the XSD out as a separate Maven dependency under its own license, say from GitHub. (Donal said that original lives inside a PDF .... ) ..or we can also leave it as a zip file in the GitHub repo, which is not as clean (and would require LICENCE changes)? Middle ground : make a taverna-extras repo with a Release JAR of just the XSDs, and download straight from GH; I think the Maven plugin could do that. Does not work as nicely with caches and proxies.

So it looks like that file can be included but it begs the question of what "appropriately labeled" means. Any ideas? Point to this licence in NOTICE?

Perhaps the biomoby-activity-ui can be moved to the taverna-extras repo until we clear this up. To me it doesn't seem worth expending effort when most of the other apache taverna repos are almost there regards licences. +1 Cheers, Ian Alan
