Subject: Re: SUN PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL code in myfaces
No doubt I''m just stupid...
The new improved xsd still says:
No part of this document
may be reproduced in any form by any means without prior
written authorization of Sun and its licensors, if any.
Am I supposed to be able to figure out that the license _is_ such
prior written authorization?
As for other similar cases, I'm not aware of other schemas or dtds
from sun that have the explicit "PROPRIETARY CONFIDENTIAL" at the
top, but all (or almost all) the other ones I've seen have the
language I just quoted and (definitely) no license header. So,
assuming the current versions are actually OK to put in public
svn, it would be great to get copies of all the java ee 5, j2ee
1.4, j2ee 1.3, and j2ee 1.2 schemas and dtds with similar license
headers. Previously (IIUC due to some complaints from others at
Sun) the geronimo project has spent quite a bit of effort
removing all these schemas and dtds from public svn. We'd love to
be able to put them back.
Geronimo would like at least:
application-client_5.xsd
application_5.xsd
ejb-jar_3_0.xsd
handler-chain.xsd
javaee_5.xsd
javaee_web_services_1_2.xsd
javaee_web_services_client_1_2.xsd
jsp_2_1.xsd
persistence_1_0.xsd
web-app_2_5.xsd
web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd (already done)
web-jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd
application-client_1_4.xsd
application_1_4.xsd
connector_1_5.xsd
ejb-jar_2_1.xsd
j2ee_1_4.xsd
j2ee_jaxrpc_mapping_1_1.xsd
j2ee_web_services_1_1.xsd
j2ee_web_services_client_1_1.xsd
jsp_2_0.xsd
web-app_2_4.xsd
web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd
Although the portlet-app_1_0.xsd (http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/
portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd) doesn't have any restrictive
language, it also doesn't have any indication at all of its
license in the xsd itself. A license header would be a welcome
improvement IMO.
many thanks,

I've been working with Sun to get the appropriate legal notices
changed in the relevant files: the xsd for faces 1.2 and the dtd
for faces 1.0 and 1.1.
Please take a look at the newly updated files at:
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd
The notices in these files should be self-explanatory. The files
in the faces repository should be refreshed with the latest
versions from the web. The NOTICE file in the distribution should
be updated to reflect the CDDL license (we don't want the GPL
license option do we).
If there are other similar cases, please let me know and I'll try
to get them updated as well.
Regards,
Craig

These two DTDs are part of the JSR 127 spec, so they should not
be Sun proprietary/confidential. Maybe the comments are
proprietary/confidential? Am I wrong for being annoyed that
someone with commit privs project would check files into an ASF
repo with this copyright statement, regardless of the technical
justification?
