Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ run-time licensing
|
Hi Jacob,
I'm not a lawyer as well, but usually a NOTICE.TXT file in your product
stating something like "This product uses the AspectJ Runtime Library,
licensed under the terms of the EPL which can be found here
http://etcetc" is an acceptable standard procedure to let your end
customers know about it. This is the way many many commercial products
state that they use open source stuff. Since you are not modifying
source code and distributing a derivate of it, this should be enough,
otherwise you should state (usually in the .java files themself) the
original author, license and copyright statements, together with a
summary of your modifications, but seems like this is not your case.

be an issue.
However, I'm trying to understand what my obligations are in terms of
for example making the end user view the EPL?

I am not a lawyer, but I do not think there are any restrictions
on redistributing aspectjrt.jar (or any of the the AspectJ jars).
For example, aspectjrt.jar is distributed with many SpringSource
products (open source as well as commercial).

Hi,
I'm developing a Java library which will be distributed in jar
form. In developing this library I have used AspectJ 1.6.5 and
the resulting binary will include code woven in by the ajc
compiler. To distribute this library I will need to distribute
the AspectJ run-time. Users of the library will not need to
use ajc to compile their code as all relevant joinpoints are
internal to the library.
In this case, what are the restrictions on distributing the
AspectJ run-time. Can I include the aspectj.jar (or its
conents) in my own jar with no notices?
I've consulted the AspectJ FAQ on this matter, but I am
unclear on how I'm supposed to preserve the warranty
disclaimers in the license.
Thanks,
Jacob
