[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-540) Script that packages non-free redistributable DLLs

["Roman Shaposhnik (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17205008#comment-17205008 ] 

Roman Shaposhnik commented on LEGAL-540:
----------------------------------------

A script that doesn't contain/ship any kind of Cat X IP but allows user to legally harvest it either from the system or from the internet is fine. It would be nice if the script also gave a clear statement of what it is about to do (accept licenses, etc. etc.). This should be very similar to EULA script that used to (still is?) part of any JDK deployment.

> Hi,
> After receiving an answer to LEGAL-538, the followup question arose: Can we ship a script that generates a package with the non-free DLLs given that we don't distribute those DLLs (as they are preinstalled on the system) or the generated artifacts. The DLLs in question are the Microsoft SDK redistributables and the Visual C++ redistributables.
> This script is optional and not part of the default build process, just a help to users who need an MSI to install the software on their machines, instead of just copying the binaries in place.
