Thanks for bringing this up Roy, it was on my TODO list. I found it a
bit unclear on the site that this change had occurred, so I wasn't
sure if others would have noticed. Note that the sourceforge site
isn't necessarily the old site - the code stored in SVN there is still
the latest, GPL version of what I presume is the community edition.
I actually made a fix the other day and on going to contribute it back
found it was already present in the latest version, but that it was
now under GPL. I took a look at the release notes and didn't see
anything else that was of immediate interest to my projects. We'll
continue using the 3.2.3 delta pack for the default distribution.
Cheers,
Brett

Raises the question of whether anyone has needed the
improvements/bugfixes/whatever in the later GPL versions, and whether
we should consider forking the old version.

The Java Service Wrapper is being used (and sometimes

many of our Java projects (ActiveMQ, ServiceMix, Geronimo, OFBiz,
Tomcat).
It was formerly available under an MIT/BSD style license, as can be
seen
in the 3.2.3 version at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wrapper/
More recent versions of the product are currently under dual GPLv2
and commercial licensing.
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/licenseOverview.html
And yet no mention of its license is found in our documentation.
http://activemq.apache.org/java-service-wrapper.html

http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/wrapper.html
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyWindowsService
and the only pages we have that refer to the old version are in
Geronimo
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC11/configuring-geronimo-as-a-windows-service.html
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/configuring-geronimo-as-a-windows-service.html
If your project is currently distributing or telling users to make
use of
the Java Service Wrapper, please be sure that we only use the old
licensed
version, that our documentation points to the old site, and that
when we do
point folks to wrapper.tanukisoftware.org (which we should do
because some
users are not allergic to GPLv2) we should also point out that the
newer
versions are under different licenses (GPLv2/commercial).
