IPR for Base64OutputStream
Hi all,
In a recent commit to Apache JAMES Mime4J I introduced a
Base64OutputStream released from your project (Apache MyFaces Trinidad).
I referenced the source in the svn commit and I added a line to the
source file header saying "This class has been copied from Apache
MyFaces Trinidad 1.2.8"
I see the NOTICE for the ASF MyFaces Trinidad package I downloaded to
get the Base64OutputStream.java file include this:
-------------
Portions of this software were originally based on the following:
- software copyright (c) 2000-2006, Oracle Corp, <http://www.oracle.com/>.
and are licensed to the Apache Software Foundation under the
"Software Grant and Corporate Contribution License Agreement"
-------------
I tried to understand if the Base64OutputStream was from this
grant/contribution or not, but I can only find this:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/myfaces/trinidad/trunk/trinidad-api/src/main/java/org/apache/myfaces/trinidad/util/Base64OutputStream.java?revision=404824&view=markup
and the original incubated code:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/adffaces/trunk/adf-faces/adf-faces-api/src/main/java/org/apache/myfaces/adf/util/Base64OutputStream.java?revision=404824&view=markup&pathrev=404824
The first version of the NOTICE file is newer than the import above and
already includes the Oracle reference:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/myfaces/trinidad/trunk/NOTICE.txt?revision=466284&view=markup
From my understanding (also scanning markmail for "Oracle" +
"Trinidad") Oracle contributed minor parts of the code (mainly message
bundle translations and a portlet-bridge code.. but MyFaces team
included a generic reference to Oracle in the main NOTICE.
Looking in trinidad-1.2.8-src-all.zip java files I see many of them have
a version header with an "oracle" reference in the path:
-----
@version $Name: $ ($Revision:
adfrt/faces/adf-faces-api/src/test/java/oracle/adf/view/faces/convert/ConverterTestCase.java#0
$) $Date: 17-oct-2005.16:28:54 $
------
The Base64OutputStream is not one of them.
It would be wonderful if Apache MyFaces Trinidad could tell us if the
Base64OutputStream was part of the Oracle contribution or not, so we
know if we have to add Oracle in our product notice, too, or not.
For ASF reusability issues it would also be cool if the NOTICE gave more
details on what are the "Portions" involved in the grant.
Thank you very much,
Stefano

I just want to "up" this one, as we have a release VOTE pending for this
issue.
Our PMC would really appreciate if someone can give an answer to this.
Apologize for the double message but our release manager is going to
kill me ;-) if I vote down his work and I'm still hoping you'll tell me
Oracle is not involved in that class.
Thank you,
Stefano

Hi,
the code was donated to the ASF in 2006, when Oracle donated
"Trinidad" (formal ADF Faces 10.x)
This code is now licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Oracle donated the following (already) to the ASF:
-Trinidad (therefore the statement in the notice file)
-translations, to be used in Trinidad (since we internally use
Trinidad, inside our own framework)
-Portlet bridge (not releated to Trinidad), which is the RI of a JSR.
(of other donations before I joined Oracle I am not aware)

that is from "old" CVS usage, inside of Oracle.
Perhaps we should remove that line? Or change it to "work" with SVN..

looks like the CVS settings wasn't applied to that file, but it is for
sure part of
the Trinidad donation in 2006.

Yes, ORA donated the file. Now it is licensed under ASL 2.0
but the copyright, I guess you have to add (to be 100% corrrect, right?)

pretty much everything from Trinidad.
What kind of wording do you suggest ?
