[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-6506) RichFaces JSMin Compressor remove copyright (and author information)

[Michael Youngstrom (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6506?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12457039#action_12457039 ] 

Michael Youngstrom commented on RF-6506:
----------------------------------------

Is this really an "optional" priority?  Richfaces is currently in violation of several javascript library's licenses.  For example, currently RichFaces includes JQuery.  JSMin is stripping out JQuery's copyright information.  JQuery's licensing agreement clearly state that their copyright information should be "included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software" (http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/jquery/MIT-LICENSE.txt).  So RichFaces is currently violating JQuery's licensing terms because of this bug.

In addition, I am now also violating the licensing agreements of several JS libraries because I'm using a4j:loadScript to load my javascript files.

I would think that this should be a higher priority issue.

> When RichFaces JSMin compresses our files, it removes copyright information.  Since some of these are third party libraries that required the copyright to remain in tact, this is problematic.
