[Bug 57343] New: Improper use of license elements of Servlet API
POMs served by Maven Central
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57343
Bug ID: 57343
Summary: Improper use of license elements of Servlet API POMs
served by Maven Central
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: 6.0.43
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: 1983-01-06@gmx.net
The POM for Servlet API contains two licenses combined in in licnese block:
<license>
<name>
Apache License, Version 2.0 and
Common Development And Distribution License (CDDL) Version 1.0
</name>
<url>
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt and
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.txt
</url>
</license>
This is an improper use of the license construct. Please break this up into two
elements. This probably applies to Tomcat 7/8/9 too.

--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Two spearate license blocks would indicate that the code is dual licensed which
is not the case. From [1]:
<quote>
If multiple licenses are listed, it is assumed that the user can select any of
them, not that they must accept all.
