Hi everyone,
I'd like to start work on an implementation of the pack200
decompression algorithm, from the specification which is available at
http://www.jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/first/jsr200/
I shall give you a warm welcome for implementation of Pach200! :) But
as I know few about the legality, I wonder it is legal for us(Harmony
developers) to read such algorithm directly from jcp.org? Can anyone
give an answer? Let's go ahead if there's no obstacle.
What? If we implement a spec from the JCP, we get the TCK and pass it.
That's it.
The license I get to by following the URL above states (amongst other
things):
"This license includes the right to discuss the Specification (including
the right to provide limited excerpts of text to the extent relevant to
the point[s] under discussion) with other licensees (under this or a
substantially similar version of this Agreement) of the Specification.
Other than this limited license, you acquire no right, title or interest
in or to the Specification or any other Sun intellectual property, and
the Specification may only be used in accordance with the license terms
set forth herein."
IANAL but that doesn't appear to give us rights to implement the spec
via that source? What am I missing?
Alex gave us the link to the Proposed Final Draft, which isn't licensed
for implementation, not the final spec itself.
That can be found here
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr200/index.html
and is under the usual spec license (which I can probably repeat by
heart at this point).
Ah yes, that license reads much better.
My question though is not about this, but if it's part of the Java SE 5
spec and therefore would be tested w/ the Java SE 5 TCK. I guess I can
go dig into the documentation around JSE 5.
I'm guessing not, and therefore we'll need the standalone TCK for JSR 200.
It is -- there is a java.util.jar.Pack200 type in Java 5 SE, that
references the JSR200 spec for details.
All systems go.
Indeed. And I don't have to waste time getting the TCK either since
it's in SE 5.
Thanks!
