[aspectj-users] License related issues in aspectjweaver's ConstantPool.j

[ohira-ryoji <ryoji-ohira@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>From our source check, we found No License text found in latest
org.aspectj.apache.bcel.classfile.ConstantPool.java source.
This can lead us to *license related issues* using aspectjweaver.

Let me ask one question related to this issue..
Q: If aspectjweaver's constantPool.java uses Apache BCEL code, which version
of Apache BCEL (5.0, 5.1, 5.2) does it refer?

If it refers ver5.0 or ver5.1 in ApacheSoftwareLicense(ASL)1.1, we request
the next 2 actions.

1- Add license text in org.aspectj.apache.bcel.classfile.ConstantPool.

2- With the above text added, please commit aspeactjweaver6's version from
1.6.12 to 1.6.13.

At the same time commit spectjweaver7's version from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3.

(FYI) Here is the situation we are facing.:

We are developing web application using AspectJ.
One of our company section checked the OpenSource license with the following
feedback.

1.ConstantPool.java *seems to be coded based on* Apache BCEL(Version5.0)
code.
(Class comment are almost same. Method name and process look similar)

2.Apache BCEL(Version5.0) is ASL1.1 license and license article must be
stated if using.

3.No license text found after AspectJ version1.6.1 of ConstantPool.java.

For these reasons we judged Aspectj that includes aspectjweaver cannot be
used.
We also have concern that all other projects using Aspectj may face the same
problem.
