RE Jackson >>Jackson is confusing the license plugin, as those JARs themselves contain a LICENSE file that is just Apache license (so it should be good), while the pom.xml and META-INF/MANIFEST.MF lists both - indicating dual-license.
I must not know where to look or what I'm looking at because all I see in (scufl2 api) pom.xml (for example) is the Jackson version - no license information. And I don't know where to find META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. >>Could you check if this is the case inside also the JAR files of the latest Jackson releases, as I think there has been a new major release since the one we use? I will see if I can figure out how to extract a JAR file, meanwhile, I found this link: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/wiki. It says LGPL is allowed only up to version 2.2, and we are using 2.3. It looks like 2.7 is the latest release: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.7 On Mon, Mar 7, 2016 at 6:15 PM Stian Soiland-Reyes <[email protected]> wrote: > Good idea - it's probably something to do with the Maven build > artifacts, I've seen it just pick the first <license> before - but > they shouldn't claim to be dual license if they are now > single-license. > > Could you check if this is the case inside also the JAR files of the > latest Jackson releases, as I think there has been a new major release > since the one we use? > > > On 7 March 2016 at 01:55, Gale Naylor <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you for the dual-license, and other license, information.
