Description mejiko 2013-09-03 11:26:17 UTC 
Hello.

glassfish-jaxb included 3rd party license text.

See: glassfish-jaxb-2.2.5/ThirdPartyLicenseReadme.txt

This license included "Artistic License", Its non-free license.
but this licensed code is unknown.


Suggests:

1. Search there licensed code review, and remove or replace non-free code.

2. Contact upstream author.

3. Remove fedora repos.

Thanks.

Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem.
Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2013-09-03 20:21:42 UTC 
Cannot find any code actually under the Artistic 1.0 (or the old Jetty license) inside glassfish-jaxb. I'm guessing this is a legacy license file.
