-------------------------------
> Clarify License implications of RabbitMQ Connector
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-5639
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5639
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming Connectors
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.4
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Stephan Ewen
> Fix For: 1.3.0, 1.1.5, 1.2.1
>
>
> The RabbitMQ Connector has a Maven dependency under MPL 1.1.
> The ASF legal FAQ (https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved) classifies that as
> "may be included in binary form within an Apache product if the inclusion is
> appropriately labeled".
> Because we neither include sources nor binaries (but only define a Maven
> dependency) it is probably not relevant to Flink. But to be on the safe side
> for the project and users, we should add a notice as blow to the docs and the
> project:
> {code}
> # License of the Rabbit MQ Connector
> Flink's RabbitMQ connector defines a Maven dependency on the
> "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client", licensed under the
> Mozilla Public License v1.1 (MPL 1.1).
> Flink itself neither reuses source code from the "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client"
> nor packages binaries from the "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client".
> Users that create and publish derivative work based on Flink's
> RabbitMQ connector (thereby re-distributing the "RabbitMQ AMQP Java Client")
> must be aware that this may be subject to conditions declared
> in the Mozilla Public License v1.1 (MPL 1.1).
> {code}
