1 year ago Nevermind, I found a way.
For anyone else looking: Archive.org still has the old website online: https://web.archive.org/web/20210616112605/https://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/library/eula-xmp-library-java.html
You can find a still working source code download there: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/xmp/sdk/XMPCoreJava-5.1.3.zip
That version has no other mention of a license, so it's clear that it's BSD.
I will go from there.
This code is released under the BSD license, but the code for the Java SDK found under https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/adobe/xmp/xmpcore/6.1.10/xmpcore-6.1.10-sources.jar is released under a "ADOBE CONFIDENTIAL" license.
Can you explain why? Can the license for the Java SDK be changed or is the information in the header file outdated?
On the overview page it's declered as BSD, too: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.adobe.xmp/xmpcore/6.1.10/overview
I want to convert that code to Kotlin Multiplatform and release it as part of https://github.com/Ashampoo/kim
