[jira] Created: (SLING-540) Clarify extensions/dojo licensing
Clarify extensions/dojo licensing
---------------------------------
Key: SLING-540
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-540
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
The extensions/dojo component comes with the LICENSE_dojo file (which should be merged to LICENSE) and a "The Dojo Foundation" notice, but I'm not sure if that covers everything included.
The LICENSE_dojo mentions: "Some modules may not be the copyright of the Dojo Foundation. These modules contain explicit declarations of copyright in both the LICENSE files in the directories in which they reside and in the code itself. No external contributions are allowed under licenses which are fundamentally incompatible with the AFL or BSD licenses that Dojo is distributed under", so there shouldn't be any surprises but we may need to add something like a generic "see the individual files for applicable copyright and license information" clause to our LICENSE and NOTICE files.

[jira] Commented: (SLING-540) Clarify extensions/dojo licensing

Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-540:
-----------------------------------------
The current state is as follows:
- We download the source distro at compile time and include this in the bundle
- The SVN repository does not contain any stuff from dojotoolkit.org
So, we might be able to create a source distro of the dojo bundle, but given the license incertainties, it might be wiser to decide to never do a binary -- convenience that is -- distro of this (and some other bundles).

-------------------------------------
AFAIK all the code in Dojo should be OK for us to distribute, we just need to label it accordingly. It should be OK to cover this by including a generic "look there for specific licenses and notices" reference in the LICENSE and NOTICE files. But it would be good to review the stuff that's in there before publishing this bundle as a binary.
