Yes, this is a Sun library. It is included in JDK 6 but we want to have backwards compatibility for Mac OS X that doesn't have any decent Java 5. I think it is already on LGPL in OpenJDK (as part of JAXB), so it's just a matter of getting the activation.jar from the OpenJDK (or building it using OpenJDK sources). I would simply put a link to OpenJDK or to JAXB, as the sources are widely available, and distributing them along LT make little sense. > > 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).
