["Hoss Man (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-118?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12580143#action_12580143 ] 

Hoss Man commented on TIKA-118:
-------------------------------

in light of this thread on legal-discuss...

http://markmail.org/message/jduwmahz7nfcrzw6

...does Tika really need a crypto notice?  Is Tika's use of PDFBox really any different then Jackrabbit's?

My understanding from reading that thread is that as long as Tika (or any Project "X") does not contain any code to specifically use PDFBox for the purpose of encryption, then X doesn't need a crypto notice -- even if PDFBox is included in distributions of X.  The only reason X would need a crypto notice for using PDFBox is if it directly includes the BouncyCastle libraries in it's distributions.

correct?
