[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBBUILD-690) The JBoss parent pom should be dual licenced under LGPL and ASL (not just LGPL)

The JBoss parent pom should be dual licenced under LGPL and ASL (not just LGPL) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBBUILD-690 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBBUILD-690 Project: JBoss Build System Issue Type: Bug Components: JBoss Parent POM Affects Versions: JBoss Parent POM - 6 Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Assignee: Paul Gier Fix For: JBoss Parent POM - 7 Drools and jBPM are ASL licensed and therefor can't really depend on LGPL licensed software :( That includes the parent poms, so the jboss-parent can't be only LGPL licensed. Option 1: Add the ASL license to make it dual licensed under LGPL and ASL: {code} <license> <name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name> <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url> <distribution>repo</distribution> </license> {code} Note: a pom that inherits from the jboss-parent pom and specifies a license, only has it's own license (try yourself with "mvn help:effective-pom". Option 2: Only use an ASL license, because LGPL can use ASL (and not the other way around). Option 3: Only use a BSD license, because LGPL and ASL can use that. Note: you need to specify a license so <distribution>repo</distribution> can be set. Seperate issue: add <distribution>repo</distribution> to whichever licence it uses.
