Because several projects in Sun are evaluating Drools, it is being
considered for distribution with OpenSolaris. I'm weighing the pros
and cons of building from source locally or using the distributed
binaries. So, with that in mind I would like some help understanding
an issue related to your binary distribution: While it is very convenient that Drools' binary distribution contains its dependencies, I'm curious how you are complying with the licenses of those dependencies, particularly those that are third-party. I see no licensing information or attribution in the tarball/zip that I downloaded (except for the ASL license). Take xpp3 for example; xpp3-min-1.1.3.4.O.jar is included in the zip I downloaded. Independently, I found this in the xpp3 source tarball (see the attachment for the complete license): 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyrightDoes this information appear in the binary package? I've read the wiki page on dependencies and done some greps in the source download and binary download and haven't found it... Reid Kaufmann |
