Henri Yandell commented on CLEREZZA-944:
----------------------------------------
Is this still the case or has this been fixed for the latest release?
> Virtuoso JDBC legal aspect
> --------------------------
>
> Key: CLEREZZA-944
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLEREZZA-944
> Project: Clerezza
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Reto Gmür
> Priority: Critical
>
> The issue is discussed in LEGAL-173.
> Despite that issue not being closed so far we have by now releases
> org.apache.clerezza:ext.virtuoso.jdbc which includes the jar under the GPL2
> with special exception license.
> Th special clause allows "to use the unmodified client libraries" in non GPL
> software. However it also says that "In all other respects you must abide by
> the terms of the GPL", I think this means at least that the notice file
> should provide the note that there is no warranty.
> Also if the virtjdbc license qualifies as category B the following applies:
> "Although the source must not be included in Apache products, the NOTICE
> file, which is required to be included in each ASF distribution, must point
> to the source form of the included binary (more on that in the forthcoming
> "Receiving and Releasing Contributions" document)." (from
> http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html)
