Here's the Glassfish project website: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/
More specifically, you can download the most recent Milestone5-b32g build here: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/12Feb06.html Its about 60mb packaged as Jar. That download page contains the following text, with links to licenses: Several different software components including source and binary, support the GlassFish project. The source components are released under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) v1.0 whereas the binary components are covered under the binary license. You must agree to these licenses as part of installation before viewing and/or using the code. If you read the CDDL, it says: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/CDDLv1.0.html 3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software under the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients rights in the Source Code form from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Covered Software in Executable form under a different license, You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or Contributor. Then if you read their "binary license", it says: https://glassfish.dev.java.net./public/BinariesLicense.html 1. Definitions. "Software" means all the portions of the GlassFish distribution provided by Sun only in binary code form, and including any updates or error corrections or documentation provided by Sun under this Agreement. 2. Permitted Uses. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and restrictions and exceptions set forth in the Software's documentation, Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license without fees to (a) reproduce and use internally the Software for the purposes of developing or running GlassFish or modified versions of GlassFish. (b) reproduce and distribute the Software (and also portions of Software identified as Redistributable in the documentation accompanying Software), provided that you (i) distribute the Software or Redistributables bundled as part of, and for the sole purpose of running, GlassFish or modified versions of GlassFish; Due to the differences in these licenses, and the fact that we certainly DO NOT intend to distribute their software for the "sole purpose of running Glassfish," I don't believe we can simply download the milestone build, extract the Jars, bundle them with poms and distribute them via Maven. However, the CDDL source code license ensures we **can** download the proper source, build/unit test, package, bundle with poms, and deploy **those** executables from the repo. This is an important difference. That's why I originally said: > > Assuming we all agree that we can do it legally, I'd be happy to build > > the jars, write the poms, and add to Jira for uploading.
