[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-10224) The license term about jersey is not correct

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17166574#comment-17166574 ] 

Randall Hauch commented on KAFKA-10224:
---------------------------------------

Kafka upgraded to Jersey 2.28 starting in 2.3.0 via [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/6665]. 

Also, just to clarify, per [https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#weak-copyleft-licenses] it is still valid for Apache Kafka to include Jersey in binary form:

> Kafka 2.3.0 and later bundle jersey 2.28. Since 2.28, jersey changed the license type from CDDL/GPLv2+CPE to EPLv2. But in Kafka 2.5.0's LICENSE file [https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/2.5/LICENSE], it still said
> "This distribution has a binary dependency on jersey, which is available under the CDDL".
> This should be corrected ASAP.
