That's the version we have. It doesn't include (that I can tell) the
more liberal addendum that the JCR 2.0 API is licensed under (

Legal seem fixated on Clause #1 of the jcr-1.0.jar LICENSE.txt, and are
questioning our rights to field a 1.x version of Jackrabbit.
I filed an internal issue to have the Day/Adobe web team restore the
missing license file.
The licence file is now again available at:

Meanwhile I've included a copy of the JCR 1.0
spec license addendum. See also
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-50 for Apache discussion
about this.
I'm sorry to be a pain, but what am I missing? Are they just misreading
Clause #2? I do realize the absurdity of asking you for legal advice here.
At this point, it's either ask the community for a solution, or
backport Jackrabbit 2.0 into this release.
As you note, it's better to listen to your lawyers than a bunch of
laymen on a mailing list. :-)
Note that Jackrabbit 1.x has just recently reached end of life status
(see http://jackrabbit.apache.org/downloads.html#Downloads-v16). I
would encourage you to upgrade to 2.x, since we don't plan to release
any more bug fixes or other enhancements to Jackrabbit 1.x.
