I recently discovered that there's yet another spec I didn't know about, jsr 188 ccpp. Looking at the sun download link I get to the license agreement:

https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewLicense-Start

which doesn't look to me very apache-friendly. It also looks to me from the dev list emails back on aug 28-29 2007 that a pluto committer requested the api jar be uploaded to the maven central repo. I'm wondering what the legal basis for doing this was since it is not obvious to me that the license linked above would permit this.

Has anyone established whether or not it is legally acceptable to include the api jar in a download from apache?

thanks
