Something that we might need to look into.

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://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).
