DO NOT REPLY [Bug 49080] New: The copyright violation in ant
sources: test.exe
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49080
Summary: The copyright violation in ant sources: test.exe
Product: Ant
Version: nightly
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Other
AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: mvyskocil@suse.cz
The apache sources and svn [1] contains file called test.exe. Reading the
bug#16213 it seems to be self-extracting zip archive created by WinZip. However
running the test.exe displays a warning:
This copy of WinZip Self-Extractor is NOT LICENSED for distribution. Any
distribution of this file is prohibited and is a violation of US Copyright law
and international treaty.
And the content of the archive seems not correct at all - there are many
references to WinZip, so the content might be copyrighted too.
Please recreate test.exe using some free zip program (like InfoZip [3]) and
using copyright safe content - adding a README explaining it is also welcome.

Sorry, I missread the zip man page - the -A just skips the sfx header, it's not
able to create SFX archive. I found the Zip2Secure - it'd be free (as a bear?)
and might be used. Sorry I'm not running Windows, so I cannot help you more in
this particular case.

I see, and I agree this is unfortunate.
For the purpose of the testcase, any self-extracting archive would do.
Unfortunately I've failed to create a self extracting archive using InfoZIP
and don't have a version of WinZIP myself.
The file in question itself is probably a sample that ships with WinZIP
(judging from the ReadMe.txt), it is the extractor code embedded inside the
archive that we must not distribute.

(In reply to comment #3)
> I found the Zip2Secure
yes, found that as well and tried it, but the result itself is not a valid
ZIP archive. WinZIPs self extracting zips can be extracted with other
zip implementations (like InfoZIP's) but Zip2Secure created ones can't.
I'm not convinced it has to be Windows, the Wikipedia page on self extracting
archives lists alternatives. For our tests the resulting executable (platform
is not relevant) has to be a valid zip archive again.
Maybe another community member has access to a licensed version of WinZIP and
can create an unencumbered archive. I'll let this sit for a few days - worst
case we are going to disable the test and delete the ZIP entirely.
