SloppyMath license

Hello Right now I'm working on approval to use lucene-core in Eclipse projects. One of the things that worry Eclipse "Intellectual property team" is that SloppyMath.java class has unusual license. I mean may be it fits Apache 2 license requirements, but potentially it can be a source of licensing

There is nothing unusual about public domain code. If your lawyers do not understand that, tell them to go back to school. On Sat, Sep 19, 2015 at 11:31 AM, Sergii Kabashniuk wrote: > Hello > Right now I'm working on approval to use lucene-core in Eclipse projects. >

Re: SloppyMath license

call it public domain, call it attribution-only, whatever you like. there is nothing incompatible with Apache 2, fdlibm was also used by apache harmony for its math code. On Sat, Sep 19, 2015 at 12:33 PM, Earl Hood wrote: > On Sat, Sep 19, 2015 at 11:14 AM, Robert Muir
