[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-488) Bundling GPL+CPE (OpenJDK) into
convenience binaries.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-488?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17177265#comment-17177265 ]
Roy T. Fielding commented on LEGAL-488:
---------------------------------------
I think this issue is confused. OpenJDK is licensed as GPL (not CPE). End of discussion.

> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: Laszlo Kishalmi
> Priority: Major
>
> Apache NetBeans is a big Java based Desktop application. In order to run it needs a JDK.
> The OpenJDK is licensed GPL+CPE, as we read the CPE it would allow to bundle the JDK with NetBeans as an executable.
> We have installers, hosted on Apache infrastructure that could benefit from this. We also have a Snap package which is not hosted, but build on the Apache infrastructure. I do not know if that matters or not, that's why I mention it here.
> Also not being able to produce an out-of-the box convenience binaries is kind of hurts our brand in a way that third party vendors are free to do that.
>
> So what's the Legals opinion about bundling OpenJDK in the convenience binaries?
