In jakarta-tapestry/lib/ext lives all of the licenses of the embedded 3rd party libraries. In that directory is a LICENSE.ognl.txt which contains the full license. I believe this is all that is needed to satisfy the license to redistribute the binary version. I can assure that you we will never ever have a problem with OGNL (Drew is a good friend of mine, and having the high profile use of OGNL in Tapestry and other projects like WebWork2 is great advertising for him and his genius).

As for the larger issue of "no JARs in CVS" - I disagree. I'm pragmatic and also like to have everything in CVS needed to build a distribution (even Ant itself for my employers projects). It saves a lot of hassle to version all source code and dependencies together. Yes, we could make the Maven repository argument, but I personally prefer the complete offline usability of a CVS snapshot. When Tapestry came to Jakarta, it's dependencies were vetted extensively and several were removed from CVS - so it is still a PITA to build Tapestry from CVS (and according to Howard, his attempts to Mavenize the build have been unsuccessful to date).

As I just happened to notice this on Incubator [AltRMI in fact]:


"Is all source code distributed by the project covered by one or more of
the following approved licenses: Apache, BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C,
MPL 1.1, or something with essentially the same terms?"


The below is, to my quick glance, a BSD licence, so approved. I'm with you
on the no jars in CVS, but each to community to their own. Whether
Tapestry is properly fulfilling the licence by listing their use of ognl
in their documentation would be something to check on.

Can we really store non Apache licensed jars in the CVS ?

My personal preference is to store no jars in CVS

For Example I noticed ognl stored in Tapestry CVS :
