Hey guys,
The Mingle team just informed me that the jruby-complete jar we
distribute actually happen to include only one META-INF/LICENSE.txt and
META-INF/NOTICE.txt. The NOTICE.txt makes it obvious these files come
from Joda. The problem is that this isn't obvious in the LICENSE.txt, so
by default people assume that the whole jruby-complete.jar is actually
bound by the Apache 2.0 license.
We probably need to do something radical about that. Not sure what
though, since we have actually distributed the file.
From what I understand (and ianal) such a slip-up doesn't automatically
mean you've licensed your code under that new license. So we definitely
need to fix it, but we haven't somehow accidentally released everything
APL. I suspect this is simply as result of using jarjar, and only joda
has license files in its META-INF. But I don't think we've done any
damage. Again, ianal.
We should probably push new jruby-complete for the past couple versions
just to make sure there's no confusion.
