Re: JSON license
I'm no expert on licenses, so I would look at what Solr does and maybe ping Grant. Presumably LCF should have a legal subdirectory somewhere for license notices. -- Jack Krupansky -- From: karl.wri...@nokia.com Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 5:02 PM To: jack.krupan...@lucidimagination.com Cc: connectors-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: JSON license Can you clarify what is meant by add this license to /legal?

Re: JSON license
Yes, that's fine. But that Good/Evil clause... quite funny. How would that ever hold up in a court?
