Re: [ee4j-pmc] License guidance for auto-generated files

I would say "1" sounds like the reasonable answer, but there may be some rules that I am not aware of...

Hi,

The Jakarta EL Reference Implementation has a JavaCC grammar for EL that
is licensed under the standard license:
EPL-2.0 OR GPL-2.0 WITH Classpath-exception-2.0

This grammar is then used as an input to JavaCC which generates a Java
parser for EL that consists of a handful of Java files.

A question has arisen as to what license header should be applied to the
generated files.

Is it:

1. The standard license?

2. No license (because they are auto-generated)?

3. Something else?

I'm expecting the answer to either be "1" or "1 or 2 but we recommend 1".

Currently, "1" is being used.

Thanks,

Mark
