-------------------------------------------
Summary: Review JTreeTable license
Key: TAVERNA-898
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAVERNA-898
Project: Apache Taverna
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Taverna Workbench
Reporter: Stian Soiland-Reyes
https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-workbench/blob/master/taverna-ui/src/main/java/org/apache/taverna/lang/ui/treetable/JTreeTable.LICENSE
says the embedded JTreeTAble code is under a BSD license, however the
individual files say otherwise:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-workbench/blob/master/taverna-ui/src/main/java/org/apache/taverna/lang/ui/treetable/TreeTableModel.java

While the original pages are gone from sun.com - a visit at archive.org for the
relevant dates:
https://web.archive.org/web/20040404152740/http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/index.html
both src.zip there and
https://web.archive.org/web/20040409021100/http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/TreeTableModel.java
has the same restrictive header.
However if you jump forward in time the license headers are updated:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080409134553/http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/TreeTableModel.java
Perhaps we just have to play code detective and update our treetable/ folder
use a newer version of this example code - even if we have to get it from
archive.org the license would still be valid.
