We’ve copied someone else’s byte codes … This puts an obligation on you to obey their license(s).We should add a Bundle-License header to the manifest.
The primary license is of course DOM4J. This took some effort but they use a BSD style license. The following licenses were found:
dom4j – A BSD style licenserelaxng – A BSD license with an exception for the org.relaxng.datatype.helpers.DatatypeLibraryLoaderpull-parser – Indiana University LicenseThe format of the Bundle-License header is:
Bundle-License ::= '<<EXTERNAL>>' | ( license ( ',' license ) * )
license ::= name ( ';' license-attr ) *
license-attr ::= description | link
description ::= 'description' '=' string
link ::= 'link' '=' <url>
We therefore should add a license like:
Bundle-License: \
https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause; \
description='For DOM4J and relax NG'; \
link='', \
http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/xgws/xsoap/xpp/download/PullParser2/LICENSE.txt; \
description='Pull Parser'; \
link='http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/xgws/xsoap/xpp/download/PullParser2/LICENSE.txt', \
'Thai Open Software Center'; \
description='Exception for relaxng'; \
link='tosc-license.txt'
Since we refer to the local file tosc-license.txt we need to copy this on the file system and then include it in the bundle:
-includeresource: \
@pull-parser__pull-parser-2.1.10.jar!/PullParser*_VERSION, \
@pull-parser__pull-parser-2.1.10.jar!/META-INF/services/*, \
