Purpose
Document potential Library/Component issues
- Listing any external components that are included "in the source tree" for the project.
- Listing all external dependencies with potentially problematic or conflicting license terms.
External components included in the source tree
Six (6) external classes are used in the source tree. The classes have been provided and adapted by the original copyright holder.
The classes are licensed as GNU-GPL version 2 and copyrighted as follows:
//============================================================================== //=== //=== Codec (adapted class from druid project http://druid.sf.net) //=== //=== Copyright (C) by Andrea Carboni. //=== This file may be distributed under the terms of the GPL license. //==============================================================================
Files concerned:
- org/fao/gast/lib/druid/Codec.java
- org/fao/gast/lib/druid/DdfLoader.java
- org/fao/gast/lib/druid/Import.java
- org/fao/gast/lib/druid/ImportField.java
- org/fao/gast/lib/druid/SqlMapper.java
- org/fao/gast/lib/druid/SqlType.java
This inclusion does not pose a problem for the project as copyright and license are properly referenced and compatible with the project.
External dependencies
In the Web Map component InterMap the additional API's are used:
Conflict? | API | License / comment |
---|---|---|
No | acme.jar | Acme license (included with GeoNetwork opensource software |
No | commons-logging-adapters.jar | The Apache Software License, Version 2.0 |
No | itext-2.0.4.jar | GNU Lesser Public License |
No | jai_codec.jar | Java Distribution License (JDL) |
No | jai_core.jar | Java Distribution License (JDL) |
No (but) | cos.jar | O'Reilly com.oreilly.servlet (cos.jar) license. The API has been removed from the GeoNetwork core and will be removed from the map viewer part (InterMap). Code changes have made it obsolete already. Source code can not be distributed under the license while the compiled code can be included in non-commercial projects. This is ambiguous at least. |
Potentially problematic dependencies
None identified
Problematic APIs without dependencies
Conflict? | API | License / comment |
---|---|---|
Yes - removed | ojdbc14.jar | Oracle Technology Network Development and Distribution License Agreement. This Oracle JDBC driver has to be downloaded from Oracle JDBC Driver Downloads |
