Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] javax Maven artifacts using EPL?

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,
Interesting.  I'm
not seeing that in the Maven Central repository.  Only the jakarta.*
Maven GroupId seems to be using the EPL license, which is what I would
have expected.  I would not expect javax GroupId artifacts to be licensed
under EPL.

All of the artifacts released from the
EE4J projects for the GlassFish 5.1 release were (or should've been) released
with the EPL license.

The conversion from the javax.* Maven GroupId to the jakarta.* Maven GroupId
was not required for that release; some projects made the change and some
did not.

I was recently
reviewing our content in maven and I came across a javax artifact licensed
under EPL...  It was the 2.1.1 release of JAX-RS...
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.ws.rs/javax.ws.rs-api/2.1.1

This seems wrong.  I thought only the jakarta.* namespace in Maven
was licensed as EPL, not the javax.* namespace.  I did a quick review
of the javax artifacts in maven and this looks to be the only exception.
 (Of course, JPA is also EPL, but that was already developed under
the Eclipse licensing.)

Before I ping the jax-rs team, I wanted to be sure that I remembered our
processes and expectations here.  Thanks!
