RE: [wtp-pmc] FW: Clarifying Java EE DTD/Schema licenses
|
I think I can answer that question with a small hope of
getting it right.
I believe that the answer is no, that file in
org.equinox.servlet.api has not yet been reviewed and approved. The reason I
believe this to be true is that as I recall, the equinox.servlet stuff is still
an incubator and has not yet undergone the release review
process.
I've added Adrian Cho to the thread in the hope that he
may be able to confirm my often faulty memory.
Just so I can beat this to death,
Eclipse is already redistributing web-app_2_3.dtd [1] from [2] in the
org.eclipse.equinox.servlet.api plug-in [3]. This file looks to have a very
similar license to the J2EE schemas and contains the same license as the rest
of the J2EE 2.3 DTDs. Was this file reviewed and approved? If so, can we
bundle the rest of the DTDs from [2] that contain the same license?

Sounds like the death knell for redistribution of the J2EE
DTDs/Schemas.
If I learn anything else, I'll let you know, but for now WTP
will have
to assume no redist.

Many
thanks,
Ultimately this is a question for lawyers, and
IANAL.
My belief is that the copyright/license information in the
individual
files overrides the general information at the bottom of the
page.
Still, these files are available to you as a Java EE licensee
under the
terms of your license, so the license here may not be relevant to
you.
