License for wsdl2java output?

Hi,

What license is code generated by wsdl2java under?  Apache 2.0?  Public
domain?  I couldn't find an explicit reference in the docs.

	Thanks,
	David

Indeed, I read that the output of gsoap's wsdl2h is GPL. I already asked
the author for a clarification, but I didn't get any answer yet...

Just to let you know that such things exist !

Well, let me make an official statement as committer on Axis and VP of
Web services PMC - "we don't enforce any license on the generated
code" :)

I agree entirely -- I feel strongly that the output of wsdl2java should
be public domain so users can slap whatever license they want on it.  It
just wasn't obvious to me (or more correctly I didn't think it would be
obvious to all the lawyers in the world :-) that this was already the
case.

Re: License for wsdl2java output?

I'm not sure if it is good idea for axis to impose licensing on
generated code. For example, if a dataEclispe generates some bootstrap
java code from its templates for a POJO or web app, which you later
modify for your needs, which licence applies to the code? IMO, Same
should hold good for wsdl2java, except that the amount and complexity
of gerated code is more here. I think its upto the user of the
wsdl2java to apply their own license.

I don't think we impose any license on the generated code. Do you want
us to make this explicit in our docs? (Please open a JIRA issue if you
think we should)

thanks,
