Hi there,
I want to include a jar from Sun, the Java Look & Feel Graphics Repository
(jlfgr-1_0.jar), in a project built with maven and released as GPL. It seems
there is no problem in including it, as the license says the following:
Sun grants you ("Licensee") a non-exclusive,
royalty free, license to use, and redistribute
this software graphics artwork, as individual
graphics or as a collection, as part of software
code or programs that you develop...
My question is, may I do a bundle to upload it to ibiblio? The license seems
to imply that you only may redistribute it as part of software code or
programs, but not in any other form, so I guess ibiblio distribution is
discouraged. In this case, how would I distribute it with my maven built
project? From my limited legal knowledge, I understand I could only
redistribute it including it in a source or binary release, and in case of
source, include instructions for the users to manually install it in their
local repository if they want to be able to correctly build the project from
scratch. Am I right?
Thanks in advance, best regards
Jose
