It is not the question whether it concerns me or not, it is the process that some (big) companies follow. When we started the projected in struts 2, we involved the legal team with regard to licenses involved, we got the approval. Now before I try to upgrade my struts 2 which involves a new license other than Apache 2, I have to involve the legal team which makes a simple upgrade overly complex. I believe that struts 2 team should at least keep core files under Apache 2 license [much like struts 1.x]. It does not make sense that struts 2 is licensed under Apache 2 while some of its dependencies are licensed differently which makes you wonder what is Apache 2 licensed struts 2 and what is not. Without those core components there is no struts 2.
Nothing with regard to MPL concerns me as it is the same one used by Firefox but the red-tape and processes followed by some companies may deem it otherwise to avoid lawsuits, etc. ----- Original Message ---- From: Dave Newton <davelnew...@gmail.com> To: Struts Users Mailing List <user@struts.apache.org> Sent: Wed, March 30, 2011 9:29:48 AM Subject: Re: Migration from 2.1.8 to 2.2.1.1 What about the MPL concerns you?
