After yesterday's message from Brian Behlendorf, and reviewing the mozilla license, it seems pretty clear that Cocoon 2.1.x is covered under the Mozilla license rather than apache's by its inclusion of Rhino. Since I have seen no responses here to his message I have to assume that discussions must be going on in the background. I'd appreciate some feedback here as it appears the only current way to resolve this is to remove Rhino from Cocoon.
Ralph,
the worst case scenario is that cocoon will ship without rhino and a script will download it for you at installation time. This would obviously saturate cocoon-dev.org's pipe (since we can't use the ASF infrastructure system to distribute non-ASF stuff) so we are working hard to avoid this and find a much better solution.
the best case scenario is that our continuations patches get merged with the official rhino version and that the ASF finds a policy that allows us to keep distributing it or mozilla relicenses it.
Do not worry, there is intense activity in the background and I am confident that we'll have very good outcomes out of this discussion.
