[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-850) License violation

[Gavin King (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-850?page=comments#action_12353217 ] 
            
Gavin King commented on JBSEAM-850:
-----------------------------------

This was discussed already. We accidentally included 1.0-RC3 (which is GPL) on the understanding that jcaptcha was LGPL. We have asked Emmanuel to followup on this with the owner of this project, since there are confusing statements on the website. If the plan is that jcaptcha will remain GPL (contrary to those statements), we will instead bundle jcaptcha 1.0-RC2.0.1.zip, which was distributed as LGPL (and possibly fork from there if any maintainence is necessary).

Yes, it is strange that the license of this product seems to vary between release candidates.

> 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:
> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/octo/captcha/service/image/ImageCaptchaService

>         at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:33)
> This mean I can't use Seam without GPL software. 
> Solution is to make JCaptcha optional.
