Question about CxF dependency on jaxb-api - what is redistribution license?

[Todd Eisemann <To...@chordiant.com>]

HI all

 

Sorry for my ignorance.  I'm a happy Cxf 2.1.2 user.   

 

Navigating thru all the dependencies, I see that

*        Cxf has a direct dependency on jaxb-api  (no version)

*        Cxf has a dependency on geronimo-jaxws_2.1_spec - which has a
direct dependency on jaxb-api Version 2.1

 

Jaxb-api version 2.1 appears to come from Sun under a joint CDDL and GPL
2.0 license - which makes it difficult to redistribute in a commercial
product

 

 

Is there a licensing issue with using CxF due to jaxb-api?   (I've
traced all other transitive dependencies and licenses and jaxb-api is
the only pain.)

 

Assume that many of you have overcome this or worked around this
somehow.  

 

Any clues?  

 

Thanks

The jaxb-api jar is CDDL license which is the same license as jaxb-impl, jaxb-
xjc, saaj-impl,  saaj-api, and the jsr311-api jars which we also ship and 
depend on.

THAT SAID, I believe you can use the servicemix clean room Apache Licensed 
bundle:
http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/servicemix/specs/org.apache.servicemix.specs.jaxb-
api-2.1/
