The file is not required for building, but for specific functions of the software. More concrete, the file is required if "one wants to build a packaged war file of JNLP version of a suite". It seems like only the class jnlp.sample.servlet.JnlpDownloadServlet is required, but I could not find it in the OpenJKD. How is this normally handled? Should we add a file to the docs which describes that for this specific functionality that file is required? Manuel -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct The answer is simple. Remove the file. Don't distribute it in Fedora. Have a README.fedora file in /usr/share/docs/netbeans (or whatever) which explains that this file was removed due to licensing issues and how to get it.I want to give the option to manually download the file, if one accepts the non-free license of Oracle. Which file system path would be appropriate to be prepared for that file? I would not feel comfortable to add the file to add the file inside /usr/lib/jvm/... or something. Manuel

Depending on the license, you may just need to remove the file in the spec file or you may need to clean it from the tarball before that tarball is uploaded to the lookaside cache (via fedpkg new-sources). You may also need to patch the software so that it gracefully handles the lack of that file at runtime. Perhaps removing the menu entry that won't function or popping up a dialog to explain that the netbeans we ship can't use that non-free functionality. -ToshioThanks for your input. I already asked in the legal mailing list, and it was suggested that I might ask at Oracle if they change the license in a way that it complies to free software. But even if they would do it, it would take some time, and I don't want to wait for that. So in between I will go on by just don't shipping that file. Manuel
