there is no license for all parts of concurrent.jar
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-4941
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4941
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Build System
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.2.GA
            Reporter: Torsten Werner
         Assigned To: Rajesh Rajasekaran


JBoss is releasing binary versions of concurrent.jar which is partially copyrighted by Sun, see the license at <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/sun-u.c.license.pdf>. Unfortunately that is a 'non-transferable' license and the sublicensing clause is quite restricted. This license is probably not open source and not compatible with the LGPL.

This can be easily solved by dropping concurrent.jar and switching to java.util.concurrent which is available from Sun, OpenJDK and classpath. That is even recommended by Doug Lea.


Cheers,
Torsten
