What license is used for JDK / Java EE libraries like activation.jar, servlet.jar or tools.jar?
I am trying to find information about what license is used for files like activation.jar
, servlet.jar
or tools.jar
. These files come with the JDK or application server.
The Oracle website is difficult to navigate and I have not been able to find a clear expression according to which I can distribute these files.
I found references to the old "Sun Binary Licenses", but I think they changed when Oracle acquired the entire Java platform.
Can anyone point me to a link that shows what license is being used for these files?
Update: This question is similar to JDK files: Can we redistribute the Oracle tools.jar?
We are looking for an answer for servlet.jar
.
Update 2: This is the current Java SE license: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html - "Oracle Binary Code License"
Update 3: activation.jar
can be downloaded as "JavaBeans Activation Framework" here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jaf11-139815.html - zip archive contains a file called LICENSE.txt
which can be seen, for example here: http: / /www.visokio.com/kb/3rdpartylicenses#jaf
source to share
