Yet another thing to worry about for this release. Pierre you know if we're using the GPL or MIT licensed version of the wrapper?
Thanks, Alex ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Roy T. Fielding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 3:20 PM Subject: Java Service Wrapper To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Java Service Wrapper is being used (and sometimes redistributed) by 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://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/How+to+Run+OFBiz+as+Windows +Service+with+Java+Service+Wrapper http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/wrapper.html<http://people.apache.org/%7Efhanik/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). ....Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
