Hello httpclient users, In two Apache http components there seems to be some mixing up in connection with a copyrighted annotation „Java Concurrency in Practice” Copyright (c) 2005 Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls under Creative Commons Attribution License 2.5. AND Apache License 2.0 original code.
Jcip concurrency annotation<http://jcip.net.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/> source<http://jcip.net.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/jcip-annotations-src.jar> is relicensed to Apache License 2.0 partly, partly left its Creative Commons Attribution License within the same Apache distribution. Here are the details: 1. HttpComponents-Client 4.2.1<http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpclient/source/httpcomponents-client-4.2.1-src.tar.gz> – this LICENSE file \httpcomponents-client-4.2.1-src.zip\httpcomponents-client-4.2.1\LICENSE.txt has two licenses inside: Apache 2.0 and Creative Commons Attribution License: „ Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004 http://www.apache.org/licenses/ (...) This project contains annotations derived from JCIP-ANNOTATIONS Copyright (c) 2005 Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls. See http://www.jcip.net and the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5)” However, the actual annotation marks the same as Apache in the source code \httpcomponents-client-4.2.1-src.zip\httpcomponents-client-4.2.1\jcip-annotations.py : „# Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one # or more contributor license agreements. See the NOTICE file # distributed with this work for additional information # regarding copyright ownership. The ASF licenses this file # to you under the Apache License, Version 2.0(...)” --> What is the license of JCIP-ANNOTATIONS in this Apache distribution: Apache or Creative Commons 2.5? _______________________________________________ 2. HttpComponents-Core 4.2.1<http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpcore/source/httpcomponents-core-4.2.1-src.tar.gz> — similar to Client, this file \httpcomponents-core-4.2.1-src.zip\httpcomponents-core-4.2.1\LICENSE.txt has only one license (Apache 2.0), but the NOTICE file still refers to the original copyright: „This project contains annotations derived from JCIP-ANNOTATIONS Copyright (c) 2005 Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls. See http://www.jcip.net” Finally, the actual annotation is marked as Apache in the source code in every file in \httpcomponents-core-4.2.1-src.zip\httpcomponents-core-4.2.1\httpcore\src\main\java\org\apache\http\annotation\: „# Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one # or more contributor license agreements. See the NOTICE file # distributed with this work for additional information # regarding copyright ownership. The ASF licenses this file # to you under the Apache License, Version 2.0(...)” Could you make the licensing clear?
