Stephan Ewen closed FLINK-5639. ------------------------------- > Clarify License implications of RabbitMQ Connector > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-5639 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5639 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Streaming Connectors > Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.4 > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Assignee: Stephan Ewen > Fix For: 1.3.0, 1.1.5, 1.2.1 > > > The RabbitMQ Connector has a Maven dependency under MPL 1.1. > The ASF legal FAQ (https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved) classifies that as > "may be included in binary form within an Apache product if the inclusion is > appropriately labeled". > Because we neither include sources nor binaries (but only define a Maven > dependency) it is probably not relevant to Flink. But to be on the safe side > for the project and users, we should add a notice as blow to the docs and the > project: > {code} > # License of the Rabbit MQ Connector > Flink's RabbitMQ connector defines a Maven dependency on the > "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client", licensed under the > Mozilla Public License v1.1 (MPL 1.1). > Flink itself neither reuses source code from the "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client" > nor packages binaries from the "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client". > Users that create and publish derivative work based on Flink's > RabbitMQ connector (thereby re-distributing the "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client") > must be aware that this may be subject to conditions declared > in the Mozilla Public License v1.1 (MPL 1.1). > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
