missing license file #2

Open jbayer opened 10 years ago

jbayer commented 10 years ago

i assume this is supposed to be Apache2 since riak-cs is, but this repo is missing the license file. is it possible to clear up this ambiguity?

shalako commented 10 years ago

Could a license file please be added to this repo?

lucperkins commented 10 years ago

Fixed. Thanks for your input @jbayer and @shalako.

shalako commented 10 years ago

Thank you!

This was closed in error (And I reverted the PR/commit)

The repo includes code that is not apache2 licensed (the json.org JSON parser) and cannot be re-licensed as apache2.

It is unclear why we have this repo / library, but if we really want to reinvent the wheel and provide an apache2 licensed S3 lib, we would need to strip out the json.org code and replace it with an apache2 licensed JSON library (jackson being the most common).

We need to do this then. :(

We have partnerships that need Apache2 licensed code and it will likely hold up several large deals until it is resolved. All of our business from Pivotal for example, relies on this being Apache2.

we may have other options. David Schachner from our legal team may be someone to discuss this with including @shalako

dave, i'll start an email and include the relevant people

Just as an FYI I glanced at the code and I'm fairly confident I could swap out the json.org stuff for Jackson or Gson in a few hours. Its really not all that complicated.

I'm actually on vacation until Tues. If it is a critical thing I can do it and just take another day off next week.

Hey @broach, given the state here, is licensing still an issue?
