Greetings,
I'm interested in the license exception noted in the FAQ, which Jacob Bower 
also referenced.  If distributing only 'aspectjrt.jar' as part of my product, I 
read it as only the warranty disclaimers being applicable.  Referring to the 
EPL license text, that would be solely the terms noted in "Section 5: NO 
WARRANTY"?
Is that indeed the extent of the terms which are applicable to distributing 
aspectjrt.jar?
I'd greatly appreciate clarification on this from the project leads, since I'm 
not a lawyer either, but I have to work with them.

I had got the impression that distribution generally wasn't going to be an 
issue.

However, I'm trying to understand what my obligations are in terms of for 
example making the end user view the EPL?

    I am not a lawyer, but I do not think there are any restrictions
    on redistributing aspectjrt.jar (or any of the the AspectJ jars).
    For example, aspectjrt.jar is distributed with many SpringSource
    products (open source as well as commercial).

        Hi,

        I'm developing a Java library which will be distributed in jar
        form. In developing this library I have used AspectJ 1.6.5 and
        the resulting binary will include code woven in by the ajc
        compiler. To distribute this library I will need to distribute
        the AspectJ run-time. Users of the library will not need to
        use ajc to compile their code as all relevant joinpoints are
        internal to the library.

        In this case, what are the restrictions on distributing the
        AspectJ run-time. Can I include the aspectj.jar (or its
        conents) in my own jar with no notices?

        I've consulted the AspectJ FAQ on this matter, but I am
        unclear on how I'm supposed to preserve the warranty
        disclaimers in the license.

        Thanks,
        Jacob
