This notice was from the redistributed file in Jetty 6.1.12 (which is elsewhere licensed by Apache 2.0 License): http://svn.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty/tags/jetty-6.1.12.rc5/modules/servlet-ap i-2.5/src/main/java/javax/servlet/Servlet.java
The interesting thing is that the rest of the files are identical, only the license header is different, even the Javadocs and comments are exactly the same in the Tomcat-Apache-2.0 and Sun-CDDL version: e.g., in HttpUtils.java is some part of "disabled" code in getRequestURL(), that is *identical* in the Tomcat and Jetty version, so even both "developers" (maybe they are really the same person) had the same idea of disabling code by "//". In my opinion, as the code is identical to 100%, I think the licenses are not the problem. So for me it does not seem, that the Apache people wrote a "own" compileable version of the spec - they also copied the reference implementation (or maybe the Tomcat version is also Sun's reference implementation of the spec?) The CDDL license notice is always in the files downloaded from Sun Microsystems, on Tomcats server is the Apache 2.0 Header. But the CDDL header references Apache and I think the other way round it maybe the same. ----- 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 6:00 PM > To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: Adding dependency to servlet-api > > I'm not seeing it: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/java/javax/servlet/Se > rvlet.java > can you give a link? > > If Tomcat needs a NOTICE for this, we should bring it up on tomcat-dev. > > -Yonik > > On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 11:25 AM, Uwe Schindler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tomcat and also jetty have a set of source java files in their dev tree > from > > what they build the servlet-2.5.jar.
