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

["Marton Szasz (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17205412#comment-17205412 ] 

Marton Szasz commented on LEGAL-540:
------------------------------------

I have the feeling that the generated MSI that actually installs the non-free DLLs would be a better place for the license text than the script that uses them to generate the MSI. Continuing with the JDK analogy, I think the installer generator should not ask for accepting the EULA of JDK that it packages, but the installer itself that installs JDK should. Is this correct?

> 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.
