Ricardo RodrÃguez updated XWIKI-2020:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: ldap-novell-20071012.jar
ldap.jar file included in
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Downloads/jldap/builds/unix/novell-jldap-devel-2007.10.12-1unix.zip
and renamed to ldap-novell-20071012
.jar
> Proposal to rename ldap-UNKNOWN.jar to a more informative label
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XWIKI-2020
> URL: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2020
> Project: XWiki Platform
> Issue Type: Idea
> Components: Authentication and Rights Management
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Environment: all environments
> Reporter: Ricardo RodrÃguez
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: ldap-novell-20071012.jar

> By keeping track of the LDAPAuthenticater class dependences I've realize that
> Novell LDAP classes are included in a .jar labeled *UNKNOWN*.
> After a brief discussion in the devs list, we propose to rename
> ldap-UNKNOWN.jar to ldap-novell-20071012
> .jar. The new name informs about the contributor (Novell) and the date of the
> release (October the 12, 2007). Different updates of ldapjar from Novell keep
> the same release version, so only the release date is useful to know what
> classes are you using. Together with the jar, a readme file
> ldap-novell-20071012-license.txt must be included. This will be its content
> http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~//LICENSE?rev=1.2&cvsroot=JLDAP&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0ver
> Novell LDAP Java classes are based on IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
> LDAP Java Application Program Interface.
> They are available under the Novell Developer License Agreement. It includes
> the following statement:
> "Open Source Software. Your license to use software that is provided subject
> to a separate open source license is described in and subject to the license
> agreement included with the software."
> LDAP Classes for Java available at
> http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Jldap includes a README.txt
> stating:
> "All files provided in this release are subject to the Novell Developer Kit
> license Agreement and Separate Limited Warranty, which can be found in the
> license.txt file provided in this download."
> There is no license.txt in the Novell ldap.jar distribution, but LICENSE
> reads...
> The OpenLDAP Public License
> Version 2.0.1, 21 December 1999
> There is a new license in the OpenLDAP CVS repository...
> http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~//LICENSE?rev=1.2&cvsroot=JLDAP&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0
> GNU are OpenLDAP licenses are compatible...
> Open LDAP and http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses
> http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean
> GNU is compatible with LGPL.
> Provided all of this we conclude XWiki can distribute
> ldap-novell-20071012.jar together with ldap-novell-20071012-license.txt.
> Please, find attached to this Jira issue both files.
> No contact has been established with either OpenLDAP or Novell teams to make
> a consultation about this issue. Could it be advisable to do that and have an
> in written acknowledge to use their software within XWiki? We are far to be
> licenses experts so, please, any input will be welcome!
