| Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ run-time licensing |
Greetings,
I'm interested in the license exception noted in the FAQ, which Jacob Bower also referenced. If distributing only 'aspectjrt.jar' as part of my product, I read it as only the warranty disclaimers being applicable. Referring to the EPL license text, that would be solely the terms noted in "Section 5: NO WARRANTY"?
Is that indeed the extent of the terms which are applicable to distributing ‘aspectjrt.jar’?
I'd greatly appreciate clarification on this from the project leads, since I'm not a lawyer either, but I have to work with them.

I had got the impression that distribution generally wasn't going to be an issue.
However, I'm trying to understand what my obligations are in terms of for example making the end user view the EPL?

I am not a lawyer, but I do not think there are any restrictions
on redistributing aspectjrt.jar (or any of the the AspectJ jars).
For example, aspectjrt.jar is distributed with many SpringSource
products (open source as well as commercial).

Hi,
I'm developing a Java library which will be distributed in jar
form. In developing this library I have used AspectJ 1.6.5 and
the resulting binary will include code woven in by the ajc
compiler. To distribute this library I will need to distribute
the AspectJ run-time. Users of the library will not need to
use ajc to compile their code as all relevant joinpoints are
internal to the library.
In this case, what are the restrictions on distributing the
AspectJ run-time. Can I include the aspectj.jar (or its
conents) in my own jar with no notices?
I've consulted the AspectJ FAQ on this matter, but I am
unclear on how I'm supposed to preserve the warranty
disclaimers in the license.
Thanks,
Jacob
