License for POI 3.1-BETA2 Released (2008-05-28)

Hi,
I wanted to know under which license are these API's avaiable to be
used. Are they GNU GPL or is it something else?

Can any one please point me out to the license associated with these
API's so that it will help me to understand if I can use it or not!

Thanks,
------------
Bhushan

Almost all of vsdump is GPL, but that one file has been dual licensed to 
additionally be under the ASF v2 - it's all explained in the header of the 
file.

Hi Nick,

I could find "poi-ooxml-3.7-20101029.jar\META-INF\NOTICE" inside the binary
distributions.

It has mentioned "This product contains the chunks_parse_cmds.tbl file from
the vsdump program.
" and whose license is GPL.

So, can it be used for commercial purpose?

Please help to clarify...

Thanks,
Naresh

As with all current apache software, it's under v2 of the Apache Software 
License:
 	http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

If you download the source or binaries, you'll also find this information 
in the legal subdirectory
