To all contributors,
This is just a friendly reminder... We can't include any JBoss code in Castor as they use the LGPL. I believe we can link to a compiled jar, but I'd rather not deal with any GNU licensed products what-so-ever. If you want to use that code you must get written permission from it's author(s). Also, please do not use any other (non Castor) open source code as reference for your contributions, once you do that, you're taking from someone else's copyrighted work, and that's an infringement on the rights of the copyright holder. Unless of course you are simply using a library provided by a 3rd party to perform some action, such as using Log4j to handle logging, etc. In which case you simply need to comply with the license redistribution + usage terms. Any source code contributions to Castor must be the invention of the contributor, or you must have written permission from the author to contribute the code to Castor. When you want to make contributions to Castor, I recommend you re-invent the wheel if you must, so that you know exactly where the code came from and that all ideas expressed within the code are your own. You cannot under any circumstances claim that the code is yours if it is not. We already include a number of jar files from popular open source projects, such as Xerces, Log4j, etc, so referencing compiled classes for these jars is perfectly acceptible. We can also add additional support jars if needed, though we prefer to keep the dependencies down to a minimum. IANAL (I am not a lawyer), but I feel very strongly about respecting the rights of other people/projects and their work. As a strong believer and supporter of open source, I want Castor and all its contributors to be upstanding players in the open source world.
