[jakartaee-tck-dev] Seeking clarification to question about Milestone TC

[Ed Bratt <ed.bratt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott

In the EE Platform meeting yesterday I had thought that the question 
being asked was: what license should be applied to pre-final (e.g. 
Milestone) releases of TCKs. It has been suggested that there is a 
question about how to publish common binary artifacts that each 
component TCK test system may need to consume to perform the tests.

Could you please clarify -- are you asking about the requirements for 
publication of a pre-final TCK, or are you asking about requirements 
implied for a set common utility artifacts?

If you could describe the problem or potential problem you have, today, 
that would also be helpful.

I ask because, I believe that the TCK license just applies to tests. Not 
to the machinery used to run those tests. My initial reaction would be 
-- common binary artifacts should be licensed under the TCKs 'project 
license' only.

If you can, please try to clarify within the next hour since the Spec. 
committee begins a 9 AM pacific daylight time (65 minutes from now).

Thanks,

-- Ed
