PJ Fanning created KARAF-7976:
---------------------------------
Summary: Karaf appears to include GPL licensed code
Key: KARAF-7976
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-7976
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: PJ Fanning
The ASF does not allow Apache projects to use GPL code.
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
Here is one example but there are other classes in your karaf repo that appear
to be copies of Java built-in javax.xml classes. Those javax.xml classes are
GPL licensed regardless of what header you have put on them - unless someone
from Oracle has granted to them to your project so that you can change the
license.
https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/fa669fb5a54b045b486a312fd4e43bda53c8b7d0/specs/java.xml/src/main/java/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.java
I would appreciate if someone could review this soon. I will bring this to the
attention of the ASF Legal team in a few weeks. There may be a reason to allow
you to have this source code but could you share it here?
