---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gale Naylor <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Mar 6, 2016 at 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [jira] [Updated] (TAVERNA-926) Category B licenses in taverna-databundle To: <[email protected]> ** Jackson ** It looks like we are using Jackson 2.3.0 and 2.3.2, if I'm interpreting the third-party.txt file correctly? According to the Jackson wiki licensing page, Jackson 2.x is Apache License 2.0 only. . ( http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonLicensing). ** dual-licenses ** >From reading the Jackson wiki, for Jackson 1.x they said users would choose which license. Also, I found an example of an Apache project that uses JAXB, for example, but only lists the CDDL license. http://cxf.apache.org/docs/licenses.html Is there any official Apache guideline regarding dual-licensed products? Only listing the one license that is allowed makes sense to me. For my benefit, how would I know the incubator -1 vote was referring to items in the LICENSE file only? Also, I am confused. The W3C licenses in the LICENSE file are not the same as the W3C Software list in Category A? ( http://opensource.org/licenses/W3C.php) We need to get a lawyer as a committer. ;-) I'll take a look at the other JIRAs now.
