[shrinkwrap-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (SHRINKDESC-173) License issue - File advertised as LGPL

[Guillaume Smet (Jira)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKDESC-173?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13764926#comment-13764926 ] 

Guillaume Smet commented on SHRINKDESC-173:
-------------------------------------------

Could we have some feedback on this?

It's blocking for the Jakarta EE 8 release so we need a statement about the license of this file (and ideally a commit in master changing the license header).

Thanks.

> 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!
