One more licensing issue found
I hope everyone has not gotten overly sick of these dependency and licensing questions at this point...
It seems that jQuery has a dual license... Since one is GPL, does anyone know what that means? See below:
/*!
* jQuery JavaScript Library v1.3.2
* http://jquery.com/
*
* Copyright (c) 2009 John Resig
* Dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses.
* http://docs.jquery.com/License
*
* Date: 2009-02-19 17:34:21 -0500 (Thu, 19 Feb 2009)
* Revision: 6246

From http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html:
"How should works for which multiple mutually exclusive licenses are available be handled?
When including that work's licensing, state which license is being used and include only the license that you have chosen. Prefer Category A to Category B to Category X. You don't need to modify the work itself if, for example, it mentions the various licensing options in the source headers."
MIT + GPL seems OK, then, as MIT is cat A, but I am still unclear as to how to "include only the license that you have chosen."

Hey Dave,
This was recently discussed in the Apache Derby project and the understanding there was that we could satisfy the dual license MIT part of jQuery with text in our OODT NOTICE.txt file. See here [1]. The best thing to do would be to quickly join legal-discuss@ by sending a email to legal-discuss-subscribe@apache.org and just make sure all is kosher with the approach that Derby used over there.
Cheers,
Chris
