Hi,

It has just come to my attention that we're using some third party java
libraries. At the very least, jmdns, commons-net, and robotium. There
are two things that I'm concerned with.

While their license (Apache License 2.0) allow binary redistribution
without the corresponding source (although there is a source jar for
commons-net), shouldn't Mozilla redistribute the sources as well?

Independently of this kind of ethical problem, how do we ensure those
pre-built java classes actually match the source they're supposed to be
built from? Shouldn't we actually build them instead?

I'm not sure this is the right list to discuss these, as, while it's
an issue specific to mobile firefox, it's also a problem of policy.

Mike
