NOTICE.txt in myfaces-api-1.2.0.jar and myfaces-impl-1.2.0.jar contain invalid
comments, myfaces-impl-1.2.0.jar contains unneeded secondary license
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-1698
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1698
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: General
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Environment: Not applicable
Reporter: Lance D Bader
I downloaded myfaces-core-1.2.0-bin.zip and found
1) myfaces-api-1.2.0.jar contains a NOTICE.txt file that contains a claim that
it contains JSCookMenu by HengYuan, ProtoType by Sam Stephenson, and Script by
Thomas Fuchs. Since the API library contains only the class files from the
javax.faces package, I find this hard to believe. I would have expected the
NOTICE.txt file in this jar to match the file at
myfaces/core/trunk/api/src/main/resources/META-INF/NOTICE.txt. Perhaps the
build process copies a NOTICE.txt file from the wrong source.
2) myfaces-impl-1.2.0.jar contains a NOTICE.txt file that contains a claim that
it contains software from SUN. I don't think that is true anymore. The
web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd is a clean Apache implementation. See Jira issue
MYFACES-1639 and MYFACES-1582 for more information. I think the source for
this file is myfaces/core/trunk/impl/src/main/resources/META-INF/NOTICE.txt .
3) myfaces-impl-1.2.0.jar contains a \licenses\sundtd-LICENSE.txt file. Since
there is no SUN content anymore, this secondary license should be removed.
Perhaps trivial, but important fixes for those of us who use open source
software and want to be confident that we understand all the license
implications.
