(I am sorry for sending this once again. It seems that milek...@users.sourceforge.net is not a valid E-mail address. I rather use the other Daniel's address. Also I pasted the message at http://marcinmilkowski.pl/en/Contact/) Hi, I wanted to update the OpenOffice_org-Languagetool package for openSUSE to the version 0.9.9. Unfortunately, it includes new jar files with strange lincese. Could you please help me to resolve the troubles? I added Rene into CC because he is solving similar problems for Debian, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403619 activation.jar: =============== Includes LICENSE.txt that mentions CDDL, Version 1.0. This license requires distribution of the source code: --- cut --- 3. Distribution Obligations. 3.1. Availability of Source Code. Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms of this License. You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code form of the Covered Software You distribute or otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form as to how they can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange. --- cut --- I think that important is the last part: "in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange" => you distribute the software via internet => it might be enough to mention the link to the sources. We might want to distribute it with openSUSE on DVD => we would need to bundle it into the source package. Do you know where to get the source? It seems to be a jar provided by Sun. I searched it there and found https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?RegistrationDomain=CDS-CDS_Developer-Anonymous&LicenseUUID=mtrACUFBzm4AAAEYkcI5AXh_&cnum=&ProductID=nb3ACUFBmWMAAAEYhBc5AXt.&ProductRegistration=0&evsref=&sln=&ProductUUID=nb3ACUFBmWMAAAEYhBc5AXt.&ProductUUID=nb3ACUFBmWMAAAEYhBc5AXt.&ProductUUID=nb3ACUFBmWMAAAEYhBc5AXt.&LoginForm_Login=Continue+» Unfortunately, it is under another license that looks strange as well. bliki-3.0.3.jar =============== I expect that it comes from http://matheclipse.org/en/Bliki_in_a_JAR => it is under GPL => sources must be available as well (similar approach like with CDDL). Unfortunately, I haven't found them for the version 3.0.3 jaxb-api.jar: ============= jaxb-api.jar includes LICENSE.txt that mentions CDDL, Version 1.0 => sources must be available. I have found something similar at https://jaxb.dev.java.net/. The MANIFEST.MF file mentions version 2.1. The above page offers 2.1.12 => the minor version is unclear. Well, I am afraid that you use different build at all. jaxb-impl.jar ============= Not many information included. I expect that it commens from the same sources like jaxb-api.jar but ... jsr173_1.0_api.jar: =================== I expect that it commes from https://sjsxp.dev.java.net/ => it is under CDDL or GPL => the sources must be available on the same medium loomchild-util-1.3.6.jar, segment-1.1.20.jar: ============================================= I expect that these two are covered by the included segment-license.txt ---------- I am sorry that I bother you. I love your software and would like to make it available for our users.
