Hi,
I just noticed that SuSE 6.4 comes with an Apache JServ 1.1 package
(excellent!), but I was a bit disappointed when the installer told me I
have to get JSDK 2.0 on my own because of Sun's redistribution policies.
However, downloading the JSDK I noticed that the license has a
redistribution clause for the servlet classes which I've inserted here:
---------------- cut
2. License to Distribute Servlet Classes.
Licensee is granted a royalty-free right to
reproduce and distribute the servlet classes
contained in the Software identified therein as
"Sun.Servlet.*," "Javax.Servlet.*" or
"Jsdk.Doc.Apidoc.*" ("Servlet Classes") provided
that Licensee: (i) distrib- utes the Servlet
Classes complete and unmodified only as part of,
and for the sole purpose of run- ning, Licensee's
Java compatible servlets ("Servlets"); (ii) does
not distribute additional soft- ware intended to
replace any component(s) of the Servlet Classes;
(iii) agrees to incorporate the most current
version of the Software that was available from
Sun no later than 180 days prior to each
production release of the Servlet; (iv) does not
remove or alter any proprietary legends or no-
tices contained in the Servlet Classes; (v)
includes the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 6, 8,
and 9 in Licensee's license agreement for the
Program; and (vi) agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, and de- fend Sun and its licensors from
and against any claims or lawsuits, including
attorneys' fees, that arise or result from the
use or distribution of the Program.
------------- cut
Is this new in the Servlet license or why haven't the classes been
included with Apache JServ? The only possible problem seems to be clause
(iii), because JSDK 2.1 may have been out for more than 180 days. But
I'm sure this could be solved. What's the deal with this?
best regards,
Hannes
