IDEA patent issue with bcprov in repo on ws zone?
There is a copy of the bouncycastle library in the Maven repo at
http://ws.zones.apache.org/repository2 and on previous occasion I've
been advised by legal-discuss against using the standard distribution
at Apache due to the IDEA patent clause in its license[1]. There has
been talk about getting a version from BouncyCastle without the IDEA
code in it and I was wondering if this was such an unencumbered
version. I did a quick look through and it does look like the IDEA
code is present.
Thanks
Jeremy

I guess from what Jeremy said that the answer is yes, at least until
we confirm the situation with legal-discuss@
I don't believe I have permissions to that file... dims, it looks like
it's yours...

WSS4J and Rampart right now picks up the bouncycastle jars from here.
And we need to distribute the library with the releases. Is this
possible now? Should we remove the bouncycastle jars from the m2 repo?
Thanks,
