[jira] Created: (RIVER-339) Jini Community Standards Patent
Non-Assertion Covenant
Jini Community Standards Patent Non-Assertion Covenant
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: RIVER-339
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-339
Project: River
Issue Type: Question
Components: other
Reporter: Peter Firmstone
Priority: Minor
To quote Jim Hurley from jini-users:
Sun is re-licensing its Jini technology Standard specifications under
ALv2 and providing a separate "Jini Community Standards Patent
Non-Assertion Covenant ("Covenant") that enables others to create
unrestricted independent implementations of the specifications. This
Covenant is available at:
http://www.jini.org/standards/docs/jcs-pna-covenant.txt
This choice of ALv2, as well as the wording of the Covenant, were made
with the hope and expectation that they be used by many others in the Jini
Community to share their Jini technology code and Standards Proposals.
License choice is now a freedom that developers and companies in the Jini
Community have for their Jini technology works. It is hoped that Sun's
lead with ALv2 will help act as a catalyst for others to choose ALv2 for
their shared works. The resulting commonality around ALv2 will help simplify
and facilitate code sharing and collaboration throughout the Jini Community.

The covenant was retrieved from the web archive link above.
In today's patent encumbered environment this document appears important, should a copy be stored in svn or in the release artifacts?
