When you unzip, e.g., xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.2.zip, it is in the

ok I'll try. I have 4.1.3 and it's not there for me.

It is in a 4.2-SNAPSHOT that I have locally.

I agree that this is wrong and this jar should be removed.

I traced to see where it comes from, and it's a dependency used by Infinispan, which means that Infinispan is in the wrong here. I created https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2179 and I hope that it will be addressed soon.

Thanks

Hi Mark,

I've just checked and I don't see this jar in our distribution.

Could you point me to where you've seen it?

Thanks

I noticed that the rhq-pluginAnnotations-3.0.4.jar JAR is used in 
xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.2.  The source code for 
rhq-pluginAnnotations-3.0.4 [1] uses the GNU General Public License.  However, 
the overall licence for xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.2 is GNU LESSER 
GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see 
xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.2\META-INF\LICENSE file that comes with the 
distro).

If the overall distro uses a GPL library, don't the copy left provisions of the 
GPL require shouldn't that require the whole distro fall under the GPL license?
