[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-288) Can the allowed embedded build tools be expanded?

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-288?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15837398#comment-15837398 ] 

Henri Yandell commented on LEGAL-288:
-------------------------------------

The problem is in the question. It's original intent is:

"Can Category X build tools be included in ASF distributions?"

Possibly a better approach would be to have an exceptions section after "Which licenses may NOT be included within Apache products?".

The two you list would already be covered by the "For the purposes of being included in an Apache product, which licenses are considered to be similar in terms to the Apache License 2.0?" section.

> This section lists out some basic build tools that are allowed to be included within a release.  I would like to propose adding two tools to this list:
> - Gradle Wrapper - https://github.com/gradle/gradle
> - Maven Wrapper - https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper
> Both tools are Apache v2 licensed.  However, to work 100% they should include an associated precompiled JAR file.  This JAR file is responsible for retrieving the associated distribution of the build tool for local use.
