Tomcat and also jetty have a set of source java files in their dev tree from what they build the servlet-2.5.jar. Each JAVA file under javax.servlet (version 2.5) starts with the following text comment:
/* * The contents of this file are subject to the terms * of the Common Development and Distribution License * (the "License"). You may not use this file except * in compliance with the License. * * You can obtain a copy of the license at * glassfish/bootstrap/legal/CDDLv1.0.txt or * https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/CDDLv1.0.html. * See the License for the specific language governing * permissions and limitations under the License. * * When distributing Covered Code, include this CDDL * HEADER in each file and include the License file at * glassfish/bootstrap/legal/CDDLv1.0.txt.

And there is also the link to "Apache" in the last sentence! ----- Uwe Schindler H.-H.-Meier-Allee 63, D-28213 Bremen http://www.thetaphi.de eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yonik > Seeley > Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 4:08 PM > To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: Adding dependency to servlet-api > > On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 5:16 AM, mark harwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > Just checked Solr (forgot about that obvious precedent!) and they have > it in trunk/lib and an entry in trunk/notice.txt which reads: > > > > " Includes software from other Apache Software Foundation projects, > including, but not limited to: > > .... > > - Apache Tomcat (lib/servlet-api-2.4.jar) > > .... > > " > > I thought the servlet api was Sun's to be honest so not sure why it is > credited to Tomcat. > > That's where I grabbed it from (Tomcat) and they have nothing special > in NOTICE about it, so technically nothing extra at all is needed in > Solr's NOTICE. > > As far as how Sun fits in, perhaps they did the spec (a document), and > Tomcat made their own compilable java files?
