Shipping files with Sun copyright statements?

[Ted Kirby <te...@gmail.com>]

I have discovered some nasty-looking Sun copyright statements in these files:

container/openejb-core/src/main/resources/schema/ejb-jar_1_1.dtd
container/openejb-core/src/main/resources/schema/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/application-client_5.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/application_5.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/javaee_5.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/javaee_web_services_1_2.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/javaee_web_services_client_1_2.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/jsp_2_1.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/web-app_2_5.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/resources/META-INF/schema/web-jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/xsd/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/xsd/javaee_5.xsd
container/openejb-jee/src/main/xsd/javaee_web_services_client_1_2.xsd

The copyright statement is:

"Copyright (c) 2000 Sun Microsystems, Inc.,
901 San Antonio Road,
Palo Alto, California 94303, U.S.A.
All rights reserved.

This copyright notice includes some serious restrictions. Do we have a
separate license from Sun as seems to be needed per the above notice?

It seems that these files are/were not shipped in openejb2 jars, for
example those used with Apache Geronimo, but they do seem to be
shipped with openejb3 jars, for example those with Apache Geronimo.

Perhaps the simplest "fix" is to remove them from shipped openejb3
jars, if this can be done?

Thanks,
Ted Kirby

This is on the TODO list before we can ship any 3x releases.  All app  
servers need the schemas to essentially be compliant.  Geronimo got  
around this but generating xmlbeans objects from the schemas and  
simply keeping the generated objects and ditching the schemas.  We  
need to find our own clever solution.

We're actually pretty close as we have the jaxb tree which itself  
provides a sort for schema validation through it's structure in java  
code, we just need to get it to work without the need for also  
loading the xsd files.
