Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-08-16 14:15:03 UTC

These two files (ShowString.java) and (StreamConverter.java) were relicensed under the BSD license by Oracle in 2008 (or earlier):

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/displayCode.html?code=http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/text/examples/ShowString.java

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/displayCode.html?code=http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/text/examples/StreamConverter.java

Thus, these files are actually now Free, even if their license header is out of date. I will make a patch to correct it, apply it in rawhide, and send it upstream.

Comment 2 Milos Jakubicek 2012-08-16 14:18:33 UTC

Tom, thanks, I was about to remove that example. Not sure about sending it upstream, antlr2 has been obsoleted for quite some years, but, well, you can give it a try.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-08-16 14:22:55 UTC

Yeah, I just noticed the same thing. I'll just attach the patch here for you to apply to rawhide. :)

Comment 5 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-08-16 14:24:43 UTC

Lifting FE-Legal, as this is not a blocker, just something we should fix in rawhide.
