This issue has come up before.  This time, let's flatten it.

In two weeks, there is a board meeting.  At that time, I would like to
be able to report that the contents of the Maven repository conforms to
the policies of the Apache Software Foundation.

Code under the ASF License is clearly OK.  As is the IBM Public License
(the pre-Jakarta BSF, for example) and the MPL (Rhino).  The following
public domain components are also approved: Antlr and Doug Lea's
concurrency package.

Licenses clearly not conforming to the ASF's policies for distribution:
LGPL, GPL, Sun's Binary Code License.

Please direct any questions or comments (including new licenses to be
considered) to general@jakarta.apache.org.  Some we can resolve for
ourselves (e.g., the specific public domain packages above).  Others
I'll batch up and forward to the board and/or licensing folk.

By the board meeting after that (3rd week in March), I'd like to have
the infrastructure issues resolved (where should this data should be
hosted, mirrored, etc).

Sam,

I am confused about the problem with licenses.  I was hoping you could 
help clarify.  Maven was designed so that it could use whatever 
repositories the user desires.  The jars that Maven uses were purposely 
put on iblibo by people who use maven (not Apache itself) so we would 
not have to worry about license and distribution issues.  Ibiblio is 
clearly ok with distributing files with gpl, lgpl and other licenses. 
It is the developer's responsibility to make sure it is compatabile with 
their product or code.

My question is: Why does Apache care what repository the user uses and 
what licenses are there?  Apache has no jursidiction over ibiblio.

Cheers,

Dan Diephouse

Clear the air Re: ATTN: Maven developers [was: primary distribution location]

Posted by "Andrew C. Oliver" <ac...@apache.org>.
This conversation is going in the wrong direction.

Sam:
The ASF has no juristiction over the Maven Repository.  The most that 
could be done is to say
"You can't use the word Maven in it".  Its not on ASF servers, is not 
"sanctioned" in any way.  You could probably say "Maven you can't use 
the Maven Repository" but what would that accomplish exactly. 

We're going about this all wrong with out tone.  Jason & co have built 
something that could be very helpful throughout the ASF and approaching 
this from the "You must do" type thing is not in my opinion effective to 
approach the end goal.  (and is WAY more in character for ME than for 
YOU Sam, I'm very sorry to say)

Jason:
Your tone is way out of line and is very disproportionate.  Sam's 
contributions to opensource and to opening Java are pretty hard to 
legitimately criticize and doing so serves no productive purpose.
The maven repository is the most compelling thing done in the last 
several months and could be the most compelling thing in some years.  
Congradulations.  What some folks are trying to say is "we want in".  If 
you want to work with us (your fellow Jakarta/XML/Java Apache folks), 
then we'll build something Java has needed since day 1.  Obviously 
you're aware of some of the problems with the Maven repository (in the 
simple-minded approach to versioning/etc), and we'll help extend it such 
that such problems go away.  In exchange you get these things Mirrored 
throughout Java-land.  That includes iBiblio.

Now on the GPL  and LGPL thing I agree with you completely.  There is 
nothing wrong with allowing their distribution, even off ASF servers.  
The Sun thing, you're completely wrong.  Sun sues people for dumber 
stuff all of the time.  I can hook you up to references for this fact if 
you would like.  In order to move foward we do have to stay legal.

What we all need to do is keep our eye on the ball.  Jason, I want to 
move all the jar files POI, Cocoon and other projects need, out of their 
CVS.  Yet I want them to play nice in gump.  iBiblio is awesome but even 
iBiblio gets bogged down some days (today for instance I was getting 
908Bps [not kbps] on my rpm download).  Having a mirrored, location 
independant version of the repository could do some wonderful things for 
Apache, Java, OpenSource and each of us.

What of it, Jason.  Can we work together on this, keep the legal 
concerns to a minimum (I propose distributing GPL and LGPL is okay, ASF 
projects might not be able to use them, but there is nothing illegal 
about distributing them),  work on getting the pieces in play?

Nick Chalko who is one of my own personal favorites (despite him not 
fixing commons-vfs's funky file error this morning) is talking about a 
project to extend the maven repository in such a way that all Apache 
projects could use it.  I'd rather not see a forked effort.  This is 
something I'm pretty sure we can all agree on if we focus on the larger 
effort/benefits rather than details.

In the end, the ASF gets to delete the duplicate jars from CVS and all 
projects can use Maven, Centipede or some ant tasks to resolve their 
depencies.

So Jason, are you willing to listen and maybe work with us on a new 
project which IMHO is far more important than Maven, Centipede or 
licensing arguments?

Yes, I'm directing it at you because you're the only person who seems to
making this as issue. Obviously Sun is implicitly ignoring the
redistribution of these JARs because it's happening all over the place.
You bringing this to a head is not going to allow Sun to whistle in the
dark and let it go. They probably don't care and they probably don't
want to spend any money changing the license because things just
generally work. You making a big stink about it and then doing zilch
insofar as contacting anyone at Sun to try and help with all your
purported clout absolutely sucks.

Re: Jakarta POI audit.

Posted by ac...@apache.org.
Excellent.  It took me about 15 minutes to prepare this audit.  Because I
take my responsibility as a:

member (including my oversight responsibility)
Jakarta PMC member
committer
developer
POI-person
good citizen of the Apache community

seriously, I intend to perform this audit at least quarterly.  I'll always
have them available on the wiki page so that my peers can review them:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JakartaPOIAudits

I've also created this page:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ASFAuditPages

for others who wish to do the same.

I expect to get a softer pillow out of this.  Meaning because I know that
I've done my work and that my peers have reviewed it, I know that POI won't
be shut down due to liability concerns, that the Apache project's furture is
protected and that non-member committers to POI can rest assured that we've
done our best to protect their contribution.

I intend to invite other POI committers to either perform the audits or
collaborate on them (since its 15 minutes work I imagine the first will be
more common).  This will help prevent the "ya ya" effect of
form-filling/cutting-pasting.

I invite anyone who has a question about the audit or is interested in how
to apply the same on their project to please write.  I'll do my best to
answer any questions.

Thanks,

Andy

(Not looking at centepede here) : POI can even use GPL for building.
There is an exception when a buildtool adjusted the content of the thing
it processes (don't get me on legal stuff here though :). It is written
down in the gpl fag on fsf.org.
httpd else would have to be gpl too, since it may use gpl'ed buildtools

Jakarta POI audit.

Posted by "Andrew C. Oliver" <ac...@apache.org>.
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JakartaPOIAudits/20030205

Although its not official, I'm more or less the defacto current member 
in charge of oversight for  Jakarta POI.

Because there seem to be questions on a number of projects as to their 
license usage, I thought it would be nice for me to go and audit POI 
voluntarily.   Although I do not like such issues as licenses and other 
things, I realize that staying legitmate affects you my peers and all of 
Apache and I do this as a service to protect myself as well as all of 
you (you're welcome).

The Jakarta POI project uses the following:

under various subdirs of /lib
1. Commons Logging * (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging.html) ASL
2. log4-j * (http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j) ASL
2. Xalan 2.2 **  (http://xml.apache.org/xalan) ASL
3. Xerces 2.2 ** (http://xml.apache.org/xerces) ASL

Although the following are not required for POI, they are used/provided 
by Centipede (http://krysalis.org/centipede) at build time and for 
generating our site:

under /tools/cents
1. Primarily these are centipede tools I am not delineating those as 
they are just part of centipede

2. checkstyle  - LGPL  (http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/) - I was 
unaware of this before the audit.  Apparently Centipede uses this to 
produce this: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/metrics/checkstyle/ - I do 
not personally find checkstyle useful but other developers on the 
project (namely Nicola ken) do. 

It is my personal understanding that this is acceptable provided that 
POI does not directly reference them nor the jar include or require 
them.  I would like direction from the board whether the use of build 
tools which use LGPL is OK (POI itself does not use LGPL).  If the board 
requests I will disable the use of checkstyle (which will make Nicola 
Ken cry).  Also I would like guidence on whether just leaving it out of 
our CVS repository and letting it be downloaded at build time is fine.  
(it is the build and not POI which is using it)

3. javasrc - NO LICENSE (public domain) - 
(http://home.austin.rr.com/kjohnston/javasrc.htm)

4. jdepend - BSD - (http://www.clarkware.com/software/JDepend.html)

5. junit - IBM CPL - (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ibmpl.php)

6. umldoclet - Public Domain - 
(http://objectclub.esm.co.jp/uml-doclet/README)

* loaded optionally via some JVM parameters
** used for centipede and XML->Java record (value object of sorts) 
generation in the build

In summary, there are no controversial licensing issues for the Jakarta 
POI project itself.  The only area of question is whether Centipede's 
use of LGPL libraries and POI's use of Centipede as a build tool 
constitutes a problem.  We are eager to resolve this in the event the 
board sees this as a problem.  It is our preference to continue using 
checkstyle unless there is an actual legal issue.

I appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing this audit.  
Because I value your time, I will keep this on the wiki and provide 
updates.  You may find them here:

If this is a board mandate, or Roy feels it is necessary then I will do
so if it is a legal imperitive to keep the ASF safe. I, at this point,
don't care about what you personally want or think. I think you've gone
off the deep end. Making a morass out of something that does not need to

I don't see anything in the license that permits others to redistribute

Ibiblio can do whatever it wants.  I don't want the ASF to be complicit 
with license violations.  Sever the connection to ibiblio or correct the 
problem.

I realize that you are not happy with the terms of the Sun license. 
Please do not direct that at me.

I am requesting that the people contributing to Maven perform an audit. 
  I would like to see that audit complete within two weeks.

It is not difficult to find more license violations.  Quite a number of 
the packages starting with the letter 'J' alone look suspicious.

Sam, just let know if there are others JARs I can remove to make it more
difficult for people to build their projects.

The Sun Binary Code License issue I am looking into personally and will
either 1) add a click through license handler 2) Add the
non-distributable JARs feature back in or 3) remove them. These are a
problem.

As for the LGPL and GPL jars what is the problem exactly. Ibiblio is not
ASF hardware what jurisdiction does the ASF have?. What juridiction do
you have at all? I put the repository there to avoid these problems. Why
are you trying to make it so difficult for people to build projects?
What are users supposed to do who need GPL and LGPL JARs. The Maven
repository is not for ASF code only, it's for all Java projects.

The Maven repository is not Maven. Ted Leung had the idea of using a
PORTs type system where the repository had pointers to the actual
artifacts but what you are saying is that we wouldn't even be allowed to
provide pointers to LGPL and GPL software because it's associated with
Maven which is a project at the ASF. That's just ridiculous? How is the
ASF at all liable for anything not on ASF hardware?

On what legal grounds could anyone make the ASF liable? I don't see how
this is possible? And given that is not the ASF's problem which is again
why I put the repository on ibiblio because I didn't want it to be a
problem for the ASF.

I assume that Roy is the most versed in the legal issues so I've cc'd
him here as I would like to know if there are any legal grounds under
which the ASF would be liable for anything done at ibiblio?
