[Shane Bryzak (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-850?page=all ]

Shane Bryzak closed JBSEAM-850.
-------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.1.7.GA
       Resolution: Done
         Assignee: Shane Bryzak

This dependency has already been removed in CVS.  As for the license we made a mistake, assuming it was LGPL based on the first page that Max linked to. However didn't find out until after the 1.1.6 release it was still GPL.  I believe Emmanuel is following up on this as he knows the JCaptcha lead developer.

> JBoss Seam has LGPL license. 
> JCaptcha (according to content of jcaptcha-all-1.0-RC3.jar) is GPL.
> When running JBoss Seam without jcaptcha I get this NoClassDefFoundError:

> This mean I can't use Seam without GPL software. 
> Solution is to make JCaptcha optional.
