Ping. To make things easier: the podling needs one more IPMC vote for
its first release; the current tally (not counting the RM) is:

    +1 Yakov Zhdanov (PPMC)
    +1 Sergi Vladykin (PPMC)
    +1 Semyon Boikov (PPMC)

and

    +1 Konstantin Boudnik (Mentor; binding)

Also OK.

No problem, then!  Thanks for clarifying, and thanks for toughing it out --
the first incubating release is always the hardest.

Marvin,

I think Ignite does not pose a problem here because it does not have any
GPL dependencies, optional or not. The only  classes in question were the
Doug Lee's JSR 166 classes, which I think we already agreed belong to the
public domain and have to have proper headers.

As far as LGPL, to my knowledge, Ignite only has 2 optional LGPL
dependencies which are for the optional integration with the following
products:

- Hibernate ORM, http://hibernate.org/orm/
- JTS Topology Suite from VividSolutions for geospatial indexing,
http://www.vividsolutions.com/jts/JTSHome.htm

Please let me know if you still have concerns.

After further research, here's where I stand:

*   I'm not going to vote on Ignite's release candidates based on this issue.
*   I agree that that passage appears to grant permission for Apache products
    to offer non-core features implemented against GPL-only interfaces.
*   I question whether that interpretation was intended.  LGPL libraries
    yes, GPL libraries no.  (FWIW, we haven't even confirmed that Ignite
    implements against any GPL-only interfaces.)

LEGAL-54, the issue where that language was formulated, discusses LGPL
libraries and GPL build tools, but not GPL libraries.

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-54

See also this message from Sam Ruby (Legal VP at the time) which
differentiates between LGPL and GPL libraries:

    http://markmail.org/message/r4wbsivdlvwtoc5u

Another issue discusses "optional" components including GPL libraries behind a
generic interface:

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-63

All the discussion that I was able to find (the most important stuff was on
private lists over a decade ago) talks about Neon as *LGPL*.

I'm not going to go to the wall over this; I'm content to raise the point so
that an interpretation I think may be faulty does not establish unchallenged
precedent.  The risks are low, I'm not an lawyer, and the case law on whether
API usage even creates a derivative work is in flux -- see Google vs. Oracle
and appeals.

Please carry on.

http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html says, on the topic of GPL and
similar:

    Apache projects cannot distribute any such components. However, if
    the component is only needed for optional features, a project can
    provide the user with instructions on how to obtain and install the
    non-included work. Optional means that the component is not required
    for standard use of the product or for the product to achieve a
    desirable level of quality.


Given the above, why are we still discussing this? Those are optional
components. Ignite works just fine without them.

When Subversion was incubating, 5 or so years ago, we went through the
same discussion regarding our dependency on Neon, even though it was
optional and Subversion works fine without any DAV plugin at all.
Subversion graduated while still having this (optional) dependency.

If you want to question Ignite's optional dependency on GPL code, you
should start by changing the published policy and making all TLPs throw
out such dependencies.

Not gonna happen, right?

I think whether that's OK is going to depend on how the Ignite code interfaces
with any GPL code.  If it's going through a generalization layer a la JDBC
which just happens to be implemented by GPL code, that might be OK.  If Ignite
is implementing against a GPL-only interface, probably not OK even though the
dependency is optional.  I think it would be best to pursue the matter
further, either on the podling list, here, or on legal-discuss@apache.  Here's
some prior discussion:

These are optional runtime dependencies (GPL code is not present in the
Apache Ignite source tree). The license text is provided on per-dependency
basis to let the user know that if he/she chooses to include the
dependency, then it will be under the specified license.

These libraries are not part of the source code, but are optional
dependencies, just like the ones described above.

Again, same as above. This is an optional dependency and the actual EPL

Hi,

> If the files don't contain any GPL IP, then what we have is a "licensing
> documentation bug":

That's also my opinion. There are however several other issue with LICENSE and NOTICE, most are also "bugs' but I'm concerned about the other GPL licenses and the EPL license.

Notice file needs some changes (mostly things removed).
- No need to list Scala collection license as this is Apache licensed and has not NOTICE file. [1]
- Look like JetBrains Annotations does have a NOTICE file and this text needs to go into the NOTICE file [2]
- No need to list Persistent Collections library as it is MIT licensed and is already in LICENSE. [3]
- No need to list snaptree as this is BSD and is already in LICENSE. [3]
- No need to list org.jdk8.backport, you could out this in LICENSE (assuming it is public domain and not GPL).

License file may need a few additions:
- Add org.jdk8.backport (se above)
- Possibly missing jcraft (BSD)?
- Possibly missisng SL4j (MIT)? 
- Public domain books

Is this GPL software bundled or required?
./modules/core/src/main/resources/META-INF/licenses/gnu-gplv2ce-license.txt
./modules/geospatial/licenses/jts-lgpl-license.txt
./modules/hibernate/licenses/hibernate-lgpl-2.1-license.txt
./modules/schedule/licenses/cron4j-lgpl-2.1-license.txt

It look like the software bundles these?
./modules/ssh/licenses/jcraft-revised-bsd.txt
./modules/visor-console/licenses/jcraft-revised-bsd.txt
./modules/slf4j/licenses/sl4j-mit-license.txt
./modules/visor-plugins/licenses/slf4j-mit-license.txt
./modules/scalar/licenses/scala-bsd-license.txt
./modules/visor-console/licenses/scala-bsd-license.txt

If so then need to be added to LICENSE.

This may also be a concern as it is a weak copyleft license. [4]
./modules/aop/licenses/aspectj-epl-license.txt

You may also want to mention these in LICENSE (public domain):

It's unrelated. Release is a process, more specifically the result of a
process, RC is just a name. Unreleased code is just what is on the
repository, not yet packaged as a tar ball that has been voted and
endorsed as  a release by the project PMC.

Because there is nothing like a rule at The ASF that tells you you must
deliver golden master whatever.

The ASF is quite directive about what is a release, it's totally silent
on which name you should use for a release. You can even use a code
name, like Ubuntu does...

Being new at Apache...how is RC and "release candidate" related to 
"released" and "unreleased code"?

Normally a release candidate is code ready for release, that if nothing 
has been found, will result in a full blown release with unchanged code 
base. The terms alpha and beta don't catch that at all. They are for 
earlier versions. I did never hear of "golden master candidate / GM 
candidate". So what is a generally understandable wording for RC if RC 
is not supposed to be used here.

Marvin,

there is no such thing as a 'precise meaning' for any release at The
ASF. The project might decide to call it whatever they want (RC, GA,
Candidate, Milestone, or even Blueberry) if they want to.

This is totally unrelated to any legal aspect. Release is one thing, ie,
the very *process* of releasing some code, the name which is used to
expose the package being release is another thing.

It *might* be confusing though, I agree. What we currently do in many
project is to move along a thread of releases, like :

1.0-M1 -> 1.0-M2 ->... 1.0-Mx -> 1.0-RC1 -> 1.0-RC2 ->... 1.0-RCy -> 1.0

Mx are milestones
RCy are release candidate
1.0 is the stable version (often it's just RCy renamed)

I have also seen 1.0-GA in place of 1.0

That's up to the project to decide what they want to adopt. This is a
good suggestion, but not commonly adopted.

One more thing : your build tool is most of the time a driver when it
comes to pick a scheme. You often want to be sure that a given revision
is seen as following all the others. Typically, if you are going to work
in a OSGi environment, the naming scheme you use for release is
extremelly important.

Nonsense. Subversion has been making public candidate releases for 1.x.0
for years and we've not seen any of our users' heads explode yet. It's
just like a public beta but with stronger expectations wrt stability.
"Release candidate" just means "we believe it will become 1.0 but we may
still have to tweak it a bit." Our users don't care if there's a
recommended internal process that also mentions 'release candidate' in a
different context.

http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-numbering

The distinction between released and unreleased lies in a) process and
b) location of the bits. I think you're confusing process stages with
version numbering. I see no reasonable basis for imposing some
particular version numbering or release naming scheme on any project.

Because "release candidate" and "RC" are specialized terms with
precise meaning at Apache and because we make a strong legal
distinction between "released" and "unreleased" code, this is
extremely confusing.  Having something named "RC" which is also an
official Apache release is... gah, it makes my brain hurt.

Please consider adopting different terminology in the future --
"alpha", "beta", "golden master candidate / GM candidate", etc.

This was intended to be a public RC3 release. If it was to pass the vote,
then the official release would also have 1.0-RC3 version.

We wanted to have community to play with the RC3 release for a bit until we
release the final 1.0 release in a week or two.

Can certainly ask here before making a release if you need something reviewed, double checked  and/or are unsure of something.

Sure, voting has actually never stopped. :)  Even if Justin or I were
to vote -1, release VOTEs are majority approval with minimum of 3
binding +1 votes.  The Release Manager can technically choose to
continue or not.

Now if anybody finds something serious, the RM would ordinarily be

question IPMC voters and our reasoning.  We may have some accumulated

Nice!

Hmm, I'm confused.  This is 1.0-RC3.  I would ordinarily expect that
to become 1.0 once the release vote succeeds.  While Apache isn't
going to force a particular versioning scheme on you, I don't think
you can put out two releases with the same version number.  That would
result in identically named artifacts with different content and
security mechanisms going berzerk as a consequence.

The code for JSR-166 has evolved significantly since we did the initial
import close to 2 years ago, before the JDK8 was officially released yet. I
also tried to find the exact version we imported, but at this point I am
afraid it would be almost impossible. On top of that we have
removed/changed some not-needed code in the migrated classes.

Yes, absolutely agree. I have created a ticket in Ignite JIRA, IGNITE-545,
to address this.

Yes, agree. Unfortunately this code was moved and renamed several times
since it was initially migrated. I am pretty sure that GIT origins of the
code are not clearanymore.

Do you happen to know exactly which versions of those files were
imported? I looked at the ConcurrentHashMap implementation and compared
the current version on that site:

    http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jsr166/src/jsr166e/ConcurrentHashMapV8.java?revision=1.123


with the one in the Ignite release package, and the differences are far
larger than just license header changes:

    https://paste.apache.org/p/3SAz


Sorry, I should've checked this much earlier ...

I would suggest to *not* just remove the license headers in those files.
Instead, delete the current files and import a fresh set directly from
the repository at gee.cs.oswego.edu, then mention in NOTICE that they
were imported from there, not from OpenJDK. Also please add a README
file to the directory where those files are imported and note the exact
versions of the imported files (maybe best to just list the ViewCVS
download URLs, like the one above).

Once you've imported the original files, you can, e.g., change the
package name and make other minor modifications. The point is to have an
audit trail of changes from the public-domain original to whatever we
ship; currently, the Git log shows no such trail.

Thanks for quick response.

I am *certain* because these files were initially grabbed from Doug Lea's
JSR 166 page. The wrong license headers were added by mistake.

In this case, can we resume the voting for the release?

Fixing them right now. The new 1.0 release with corrected headers will be
submitted for PPMC vote on Monday.

If the files don't contain any GPL IP, then what we have is a "licensing
documentation bug": there's public domain IP which is perfectly fine to
include, but it's misleadingly labeled.  Shipping a release which contains
such IP does not pose any legal problems.

Contrast that with a licensing error, such as GPL IP onto which someone has
slapped an ALv2 header.  Shipping such a release could leave users and
redistributors open to a claim of copyright violation.

Licensing documentation bugs can vary from inconsequential to catastrophic
depending on how badly they mislead downstream consumers.  It seems to me that
while this one might cause alarm, it shouldn't cause anybody to do anything
illegal.  So long as you are *certain* that those *exact* versions of the
files are available under Doug Lea's public domain dedication and contain no
GPL mods, I think it's OK.

I'd suggest opening a ticket to correct the headers.

Thanks Marvin,

I think we made a mistake and imported the wrong version of the source
code. The same version is provided here by Doug Lee without the GPL
headers, but only with Public Domain header:
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jsr166/src/jsr166e/

I guess we will have to resubmit the release, unless you can accept it in
the current shape. Please advise.

It sounds like the current version consists of GPL modifications
layered on top of a public domain original.  If that's accurate, then
the original public domain version would be kosher, but the current
versions with GPL mods would not be.

Hi Justin,

These are a few files back-ported directly from OpenJdk v8 code into
Ignite. For example, you can find the same file in OpenJDK here:
http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/8-b132/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentHashMap.java

This question had already come up during the PPMC vote. We concluded that
these files are safe because they are dual-licensed, as they have also been
officially donated to the public domain. All these files have this comment
in the header:
-------
/*
 * This file is available under and governed by the GNU General Public
 * License version 2 only, as published by the Free Software Foundation.
 * However, the following notice accompanied the original version of this
 * file:
 *
 * Written by Doug Lea with assistance from members of JCP JSR-166
 * Expert Group and released to the public domain, as explained at
 * http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
 */
--------

Please let me know if you still see an issue here.

Hi,

I notice several files seem to be licensed under GPL. Can you confirm if this is the case or not.

./modules/core/src/main/java/org/jdk8/backport/ConcurrentHashMap8.java
./modules/core/src/main/java/org/jdk8/backport/ConcurrentLinkedDeque8.java
./modules/core/src/main/java/org/jdk8/backport/ConcurrentLinkedHashMap.java
./modules/core/src/main/java/org/jdk8/backport/LongAdder.java
./modules/core/src/main/java/org/jdk8/backport/Striped64.java
./modules/core/src/main/java/org/jdk8/backport/ThreadLocalRandom8.java

Thanks,
Justin
