Copyright Infringment

[Som Lima <so...@gmail.com>]

At the risk of being removed from the emailing I would like a clarification
because I do not want  to commit an unlawful act.
Can you please clarify if I would be infringing copyright due to this text.
*Book:  High Performance Spark *
*authors: holden Karau Rachel Warren.*
*page xii:*

* This book is here to help you get your job done ... If for example code
is offered with this book, you may use it in your programs and
documentation. You do not need to contact us for permission unless your are
reproducing significant portion of the code. *

I do not see any conflict. I'm not sure what the exact worry of
infringement is based on? The Apache license does not restrict anyone from
writing a book about a project.

The statement in the book makes sense now. It is based on the premise as
detailed in paragraph 1).

*unless your are reproducing significant portion of the code. *

Re: Copyright Infringment

[Holden Karau <ho...@pigscanfly.ca>]

I’m one of the authors.

I think you’ve misunderstood the licenses here, but I am not a lawyer. This
is not legal advice but my understanding is:

1) Spark is Apache licensed so code your make using Spark doesn’t need to
be open source (it’s not GPL)

2) If you want to use examples from the book and you aren’t using a
substantial portion of the code from the book go for it. If you are using a
substantial portion of the code please talk to O’Reilly (the publisher) for
permission.
If you look at the book’s example repo you can find information about the
license the individual examples are available under, most are Apache
licensed but some components examples are GPL licensed.

I hope this helps and your able to use the examples in the book to get your
job done and thanks for reading the book.

Re: Copyright Infringment

[Som Lima <so...@gmail.com>]

The text is very clear on the issue of copyright infringement. Ask
permission or you are committing an unlawful act.

The words "significant portion" has not been quantified.

So I have nothing to ask of the authors except may be to quantify.
Quantification is a secondary issue.

My reading of the text is that it applies to any spark user and not just me
personally.

The authors need to make clear to all spark users whether copyright
infringement was their intent or not.

The authors need to make clear to all spark users why should any
development team share their Use Case in order  avoid  falling on the
wrong side
of copyright infringement claims.

I understand  you are also  a named author of a book on Apache usage.

Perhaps you can share with us from your expertise  the need or your
motivation  for the addendum to the Apache Spark online usage documents.

Let me rephrase my question.

Does any Spark User feel as I do this text is a violation of Apache
foundation's  free licence agreement  ?

You'll want to ask the authors directly ; the book is not produced by the
project itself, so can't answer here.
