[jira] [Created] (TRAFODION-2082) BSD-4 license for swsprintf and swscanf unclear

Roberta Marton created TRAFODION-2082:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: BSD-4 license for swsprintf and swscanf unclear
                 Key: TRAFODION-2082
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-2082
             Project: Apache Trafodion
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build Infrastructure
            Reporter: Roberta Marton
            Assignee: Roberta Marton


Apache does not allow BSD-4 licenses to be included in release packages due to the third rule regarding advertising.  Trafodion uses the sprintf and scanf files that were originally licensed as BSD-4 files.  Since Trafodion started using them, the license was recinded and these files were updated to use the BSD-3 licenses.  See: 

1. https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause
2. ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change

This need to be clarified in our release package.
