Hello. With all the recent licensing discussion, I figured I'd better ask first before continuing any development...
I've been thinking about starting work on the JMS facility for Merlin based on my MDS design over at PheonixJMS. One issue though: I need to use the javax.jms package. This package is licensed under Sun's Binary Code License Agreement which means, AFAIK, we cannot host the library in our CVS or on our webservers (ie- in a repository). However, Geronimo has a "geronimo-spec-jms" jar that is available over at ibiblio.org [1] which also contains the javax.jms package. I assume they have some sort of agreement from Sun which allows this packaging (seeing that Geronimo will follow the J2EE spec). The LICENSE in the jar is an Apache License. Does anyone know if we can also use these packages? Is there any other legal option to build this package without requiring each developer and user to individually download the jms package from Sun? Ideas are welcome! --- jaaron <http://jadetower.org> [1] http://ibiblio.org/maven/geronimo-spec/jars/
