Question on WS-Addressing Licensing
Hi all!
We are currently working ourselves through some license scanner identifications. The policy we are trying to accommodate our software (which uses CXF) to has rather strict license requirements.
Specifically we currently look at
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/main/core/src/main/resources/schemas/wsdl/addressing.xsd
We refer to the terms as covered by the header as
WS-Addressing Specification License
In scancode the license is known under the id ws-addressing-spec:
https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/ws-addressing-spec.LICENSE
While scancode indicates a permissive license here. The policy we try to adhere to indicates that this license only grants permission for the prupose of development and evaluation:
Permission to copy, display, perform, modify and distribute the WS-Addressing
Specification, and to authorize others to do the foregoing, in any medium
without fee or royalty is hereby granted for the purpose of developing and
evaluating the WS-Addressing Specification.
Could you please elaborate on how the Apache Foundation / CXF assesses this license?
Is there any background information that this license does not interfere with a general distribution and use of the schema as part of cxf-core.jar?
Any details and/or pointers regarding this topic are highly appreciated.
In case, could you please also elaborate on
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/main/core/src/main/resources/schemas/wsdl/addressing200403.xsd
Under which license terms do you regard this file being distributed as part of CXF?
Sorry for boiling up aspects that are in the codebase since decades. We just need good arguments why things work.
Kind regards,
Karsten

Hi Karsten,
This is really good question, I was trying to go over the commit history but
sadly there no details regarding licensing (or source(s) of the files in question).
However, I have found an interesting reference on Eclipse Gitlab [1] regarding
these licenses, may be we could contact their IP team to find out more
information? (TLDR; the licenses were reviewed and approved by IP Team).
@Dan do you have any insights?
Thank you.
