[Fedora-legal-list] jai-imageio-core license questions

[Adam Goode]

Hi,

jai-imageio-core is a Java package from Sun that includes plugins for
Java that adds various image codecs, most notably TIFF. It would be
really useful to have this in Fedora, so I'm thinking of packaging.

Unfortunately, there are a few issues:

GOOD: the website claims it is BSD
https://jai-imageio-core.dev.java.net/

BAD:  it contains jj2000 which doesn't seem like BSD
https://jai-imageio-core.dev.java.net/source/browse/jai-imageio-core/src/share/classes/jj2000/j2k/JJ2KInfo.java?rev=1.1&view=markup

GOOD: TIFF seems to be BSD
https://jai-imageio-core.dev.java.net/source/browse/jai-imageio-core/src/share/classes/com/sun/media/imageioimpl/plugins/tiff/TIFFImageReader.java?rev=1.13&view=markup



I assume jj2000 can't go in to Fedora. I filed a Sun bugreport about
this BSD confusion, but they are quiet on it. Am I wrong? Can jj2000 go
in? (It would be useful.) Would I just need to strip jj2000 out of this
package to make it ok for Fedora?


Thanks,

Adam
