[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3557?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13149171#comment-13149171 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-3557:
-------------------------------------------

About changing existing content we've copied/derived then no, we do not want to change nor can we (in most cases) change the license.

If the license is problematic we need to get it relicensed by the original authors or remove the code.

But again, afaics [~nickboldt] are hunting inside the code of what the installer installs (our plugins) not the installer - hence it is separate issue than this.

[~nickboldt] in other words, if you find code you believe is inproperly licensed and not okey to use outside the installer please put that in a separate jira.
