-------------------------------------------
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.
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
Priority: Major
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/...
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!
