Tomcat licensing questions
Is there anyone on the list that can answer some questions I have about
the redistribution of certain files in Tomcat 4.1.30?
Specifically:
servlet.jar appears to be a Sun-originated module but is apparently
redistributed as part of Tomcat 4.1.30 under the Apache Software License
1.1.
Is this correct? I have in the past seen other Sun-originated modules in
Apache distributions and I'm wondering what the licensing terms of the
contribution and subsequent redistribution are.
Thanks
Adrian

The servlet.jar that ships with Tomcat 4.1.x is an Apache-originated module
that implements JSR053. As such, the licensing terms are those of the
Apache Software License 1.1.
