Hi Justin, Thanks for pointing out the json license issue. I searched the code and found only a small piece of code that uses it so it shouldn't be hard to replace with an alternative. For my understanding, when [1] states "CAN APACHE PRODUCTS INCLUDE WORKS LICENSED UNDER THE JSON LICENSE?", does either having the source code in the source release or having a build or runtime dependency count as "including" the licensed work? In our case we have a build+runtime dependency but do not include the source code.
I'll take a look at your bootstrap license suggestion too. Regarding Java 8, there is a JIRA filed for this [2] with a patch submitted so it'll probably be taken care of for the next release. 1. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#json 2. https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/DATAFU/issues/DATAFU-132 On Wed, Jan 17, 2018 at 8:36 PM, Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Sorry but it’s -1 (binding) from me due to Category X license.
