Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-4431:
---------------------------------------
The problem with servlet-api.jar is that it was redistributed by Tomcat in the
past because of License reasons. In fact, Tomcat's is (like Harmony) a
reimplemented one from the official API spec.
We should (for compiling code use the *original one* from Oracle). In fact we
don't ship this file, we use it as compile dependency like rt.jar, so the best
would be to use ivy:cachepath and never materialize it :-) Unfortunately it is
not shipped with JDK, so we need it for compiling the code.
> License of servlet-api.jar is NOT ASF, it is CDDL! We must fix and add
> NOTICE.txt

> - The demo module has sevlet-api.jar with a ASF-named license file and the
> text "TODO: fill in"
> - This also affects Solr: It has a full ASF license file, but that is wrong.
> The servlet-apoi file is CDDL license:
> http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/servlet-3.0-fr-eval-oth-JSpec/ (same
> for 2.4). The 3.0.1 JAR file also contains License in its META-INF folder.
