I already sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] list (I'm already on it, big user of Maven) with the CDDL info etc. From my reading of the license text on the Glassfish site, the binaries are distributed under a Sun Binary license which is pretty limited. Whereas the source code itself is available under CDDL, which of course allows full distribution etc.
So while we cannot distribute the binary javax.* jars compiled by Sun (even from the Glassfish project), we can certainly compile our own "version" of those same Jars from the Glassfish source code and distribute them all we want. At least, that's **my** interpretation of the situation. IANAL, so who knows... ;-) Wayne On 2/25/06, Craig McClanahan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 2/24/06, Wayne Fay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks for the Ed Burns blog link, Craig.
