I'm not very sure about license requirements about the file brazil-2.1.jar.
But I'd wish to clarify to my understanding, about the inclusion of
rhino-1.7.14.jar within XalanJ 2.7.3 src distribution.
The XalanJ 2.7.3 src distribution, includes following two files,
NOTICE.txt
LICENSE.txt
1) Within this NOTICE.txt file, we mention following (among other things),
The source distribution package (ie. all source and tools required to
build Xalan Java) of this product includes software developed by the
following:
...
...
Mozilla Foundation
Rhino: JavaScript implementation in Java - see LICENSE.txt
2) And within this LICENSE.txt file, we mention following (among other things),
The following license applies to the jar file
rhino-1.7.14.jar - JavaScript implementation in Java
Source: https://github.com/mozilla/rhino
Used by: Xalan-Java 2's non Java extensions
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The majority of Rhino is licensed under the MPL 2.0:
Mozilla Public License Version 2.0
==================================
[mukul] MPL v2.0 contents
The MPL 2.0 license advises to mention, "accurate notices of copyright
ownership".
I think, MPL 2.0 license, doesn't prohibit other products to include
MPL 2.0 based products (like Mozilla Foundation's rhino-1.7.14.jar
that we're using within XalanJ). The MPL 2.0 license, requires other
products to mention that, copyright of rhino-1.7.14.jar (in the case
of XalanJ) belongs to 'Mozilla Foundation'.
I therefore think that, XalanJ doesn't violate MPL 2.0's intent. We've
mentioned within XalanJ's NOTICE.txt file that, the Rhino jar has been
produced by 'Mozilla Foundation', and we also mean within XalanJ's
NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt files that, copyright of rhino-1.7.14.jar
that's bundled with XalanJ 2.7.3 belongs to 'Mozilla Foundation'.
