Hi all,
This can't be the first time this has ever come up can it? Many of
the xsd and dtd's that are in G for J2EE 1.4 were copied from
Tomcat 5.x so they had to have gotten this straightened out, right? ;-)
I'd be happy to get the conversation going with legal, but its
probably better that it come from a G committer.
Thoughts?

Here is what it says in the DTD:
"This document and the product to which it pertains are distributed
under licenses restricting their use, copying, distribution, and

So, from this blurb, it would appear we can include the DTDs and XSDs,
but we *cannot* change it. Would this be a correct assessment?

Exactly the right question - the copyright isn't the issue, but the
license is.
Where did these schemas come from, and what are the listed terms?

Don't change the copyright statements. The only time it is

Has it been assigned? If not, my understanding is that we're not
allowed to store them in the repo, either.
That's the wrong question. ASF repositories contain lots of code for
which the ASF is not the copyright owner. Whether we are allowed to
store code in our repositories depends on the license terms and
conditions issued by the copyright holder. What are the T&C's for
this code? Do we know?
