Subject: Re: Hi all .. licence issue ..
I just did right now ..
One question remains wich is a bit off-topic but maybe people hav
experience with it ..
Does tomcat includes code from sun (code not covered by Apache licence)
and if yes what parts ?
Tomcat binary distributions (other than the LE version for 1.4-based JVMs)
include the following Sun packages that are redistributable according to
the Sun binary license:
* activation.jar (JavaBeans Activation Framework APIs)
* jdbc2_0-stdext.jar (JDBC 2.0 Optional Package APIs)
* jndi.jar (Java Naming and Directory Interface APIs)
* jta.jar (Java Transaction Architecture APIs)
* mail.jar (JavaMail APIs)
* jaas.jar (Java Authencation and Authorization Service APIs)
The LE version of Tomcat doesn't include these, because they have all been
built in to a JDK 1.4 JVM.
Nearly all the other code is from Apache, under the Apache Software
License. Exceptions include:
* mx4j-jmx.jar (Open source implementation of JMX - license included)
Actually can I use the java sdk from sun in a business environment for
free ?
As with all software, you need to obey the terms of the license. In the;-)
case of a Sun JDK, the terms and conditions are in the license you had to
click through to download it. You DID read that, didn't you?
Does tomcat run with kaffe or another GPL JVM .. ?
I don't know of anyone who has tested Tomcat under such JVMs -- it'sThere is at least one of the developers who tests against kaffe and gcj.
possible but IMHO not real likely to run reliably.
Unfortunately for you, he doesn't spend a lot of his time on the 4.x
version. According to his reports, at least at one point, Tomcat 4 ran fine
with kaffe and gcj (and commented that gcj didn't really beat HotSpot :).
The only way to know for sure is to test your application against it.

Subject: Hi all .. licence issue ..
I would like to hack a little with tomcat .. I think it would be no
problem but my question is if then I want to redistribute a product with
tomcat stuff in it what are the requierements ?
Does tomcat includes any sun proprietary code ?
Is it GPL ?
Can I just take tomcat sources, recompile it with added features and
distribute back both to tomcat community and to public under my own or
my company's brand ?
If think it must just be as easier as it (stating in my softs that I use
some code from apache fundation ..) as I believe the tomcat licence
allows that kind of deals ..
Am I right ?
Thanks for any tips ..
