[jira] Commented: (LEGAL-17) Geronimo have asked about the Sun code

Henri Yandell commented on LEGAL-17:
------------------------------------
Doug Lea's concurrent library is public domain, but contains a couple of Sun files:
"All classes are released to the public domain and may be used for any purpose whatsoever without permission or acknowledgment. Portions of the CopyOnWriteArrayList and ConcurrentReaderHashMap classes are adapted from Sun JDK source code. These are copyright of Sun Microsystems, Inc, and are used with their kind permission, as described in this license:"
http://g.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/sun-u.c.license.pdf
Technically I imagine this is problematic in that a) it's non-transferrable and b) it's public domain so we don't have a sublicense with Doug. In reality, I'm not sure this is important.

-------------------------------
"non-transferrable license to ... sublicense the right to use, reproduce and distribute the Java Software and Doug Lea's derivative works as the part of larger works through multiple tiers of sublicensees provided that the following conditions are met..."
I read that as these files can't be used separately from Doug's work, as such I would feel comfortable with this being "included in binary form within an Apache product if the inclusion is appropriately labeled", much like we recommend for "Weak Copyleft" Licenses.

-------------------------------
The Sun code?
Dependencies on code that ships with J2SE5 or later is a platform dependency that would be OK.
