             Summary: License issue - File advertised as LGPL
                 Key: SHRINKDESC-173
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKDESC-173
             Project: ShrinkWrap Descriptors
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: impl-base
            Reporter: Guillaume Smet


Hi,

We are trying to get the Bean Validation TCK accepted as part of Jakarta EE.

As part of this effort, they are doing a comprehensive license check of all of our dependencies.

ShrinkWrap Descriptors is licensed as Apache License 2.0 but some files have headers stating a different license, which is an issue.

I have limited our search to the artifacts we explicitly use and the one file that is a problem for us is the following:
https://github.com/shrinkwrap/descriptors/blob/master/impl-base/src/main/java/org/jboss/shrinkwrap/descriptor/impl/base/Strings.java

Could you check that this file can be appropriately used under the Apache License 2.0? If so, a written confirmation would be nice.

Obviously, the next step is to fix the header but as we are using an old version anyway, we mostly need a confirmation that everything is OK.

Note that it is kinda blocking for us.

Thanks!
