No | commons-logging-adapters.jar | The Apache Software License, Version 2.0 |
No | jai_codec.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. |
