[jira] Closed: (GERONIMO-2307) Include appropriate license for the Sun j2ee schema files that are redistributed

["Matt Hogstrom (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2307?page=all ]

Matt Hogstrom closed GERONIMO-2307.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Matt Hogstrom  (was: Geir Magnusson Jr)

Fixed through David's addition of the schema changes in geronimo-tck.  The schemas are now generated from there and the jars are distributed.  We no longer include the Sun Schemas

> Geronimo redistributes the Sun J2EE schema files for deployment descriptors etc but doesn't appear to include anything in the global license file about it.  
> The following two statement in the copyright text in the schema files  (e.g. http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ) concern me:
> * This document and the technology which it describes are distributed under licenses restricting their use, copying, distribution, and decompilation. 
> * No part of this document may be reproduced in any form by any means without prior written authorization of Sun and its licensors, if any.
> Considering the first point, we need to determine what license the files are under.  Seems we need written authorization for the second point.
> The concern regarding copyrights for the schemas came to mind whilst testing the geronimo eclipse plugin, eclipse prompted me to acknowledge the Sun license at http://developers.sun.com/license/berkeley_license.html when caching the j2ee schema files (e.g. http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ).
> I can't find anything to confirm that the berkeley license displayed by eclipse is the correct license for the schemas.
> The following is a checklist to help track what has been done, in case someone wants to help out :-)
