Re: [QUESTION] Legal dependency with Oracle JDBC driver

Hi Mich,

Thank you for the prompt response.

Looks like Justin Mclean has a slightly different perspective on the
Oracle's license as you can see in [3].

Re: [QUESTION] Legal dependency with Oracle JDBC driver

[Mich Talebzadeh]

Hi,

This is not an official response and should not be taken as an
official view. It is my own opinion.

Looking at the reference [1], I can see a host of inclusion to other JDBC
vendor' drivers such as IBM DB2 and MSSQL

With regard to link [2], it is already closed (3+ years) and it is assumed
that these references are taken as "convenience". There is no implication
that JDBC drivers are included on these releases, modified or not modified.
Oracle provides multiple JDBC drivers like ojdbc5.jar, ojdbc6.jar,
ojdbc7.jar, ojdbv11.jar and so forth, free to download and use within the
license (you need to have a valid login to Oracle Center)

This is what it says with regard to license

Governed by the No-clickthrough FDHUT license


I glanced through the license and did not find anything that
contravened Spark references as in [1] in
- spark 
- /sql 
- /core 
/pom.xml

[QUESTION] Legal dependency with Oracle JDBC driver

[Alex Porcelli]

Hi Spark Devs,

I'm reaching out to understand how you managed to include the Oracle
JDBC as one of your dependencies [1]. According to legal tickers
[2][3], this is considered a Category X dependency and is not allowed.

(I'm part of the Apache KIE podling, and we are struggling with such a
dependency and being pointed out that you may have a solution to
share).
