License for Apache CXF and Fediz

Hi All,

I am a working bee and don't know much about business side, but I need to
provide license information regarding Apache CXF and Fediz to someone to
review.

I got information from CXF-user group that Fediz is licensed under Apache.
I assume that Apache CXF is also licensed under Apache, but I need accurate
information.

I got following information from Apache web site. Does Apache Licens2.0
apply to both Apache CXF and Fediz?


See the following links; 2.0 is the current version while 1.1 and 1.0 are
older versions that the ASF no longer use:
Apache License 2.0: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
Apache Software License 1.1: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-1.1.txt
Apache Software License 1.0: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-1.0.txt

Thank you.

Gina

That's correct. The pom referenes the apache license. Also each jar should contain 
NOTICE and LICENSE in meta-inf.

Thanks
Oli

AFAIK everything in Apache is covered under the Apache license, you'll
see it in the legalese at the top of every Apache source file, including
Fediz, also in the LICENSE file in the root folder of every downloadable
distribution.  Fediz doesn't have a production distribution yet but it
will have a LICENSE file when it does (right, Oli, right? :)

Just to expand on what Oli and Glen already said:

The binary releases of CXF contains a LICENSE and NOTICE file in the root of 
the zip/tar.gz that you likely should take a look at.    The CODE that is 
developed here at Apache is all Apache licensed.  However, we do depend on 
various third party works that are distributed under additional licenses.  
The bottom of the LICENSE file lists them all out with the licenses they 
use.

The NOTICE file contains various notices that the licsenses may require.  If 
you are distributing CXF, you may need to reproduce those NOTICE's in your 
application.  For example, in your own NOTICE file.

Displaimer:  I'm not a lawyer and nothing above should be considered 
official legal advice.   Definitely consult your own lawyers if you feel 
that is needed.  Likely forward them the above mentioned files from both CXF 
and Fediz.
