Hi, I'm getting ready to request permission to officially use Mauve in-house on OpenJDK testing. Reviewing the license headers I found an instance of the Common Public License in a properties file. mauve//gnu/testlet/java/util/zip/InflaterInputStream/messages.properties I don't know yet if this will be a problem. The policy says I have to tell the lawyers about this other license ....soooooo... Hm, I also found a file under the Apache license and that the CORBA tests were imported from elsewhere and are under either LGPL or GPL. Then there is: mauve//gnu/testlet/java/util/regex/Pattern/pcrematches.java: /** Regex test suites from adapted from PCRE (http://www.pcre.org/license.txt). */ But that's just the BSD license. I really just wanted to send you an email with that question from your FAQ because it's such a cool question for me to ask. - David Herron

Personally I wouldn't be averse to just deleting selected tests if it makes life simpler. Supposedly I added that zip test. I don't remember doing it :) For the CORBA tests, email Audrius. He should be able to tell you exactly where they came from; or it may be in the Mauve list archives.

It still mentions getting CVS from Cyclic. Tom
