Bob Evans - 2009-03-24

I am trying to determine which license really covers HTMLParser. The details tab on this page (https://sourceforge.net/projects/htmlparser/) lists 3 licenses, but I can't find anything that details which would govern when. This page says it is covered by the CPL (http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/license.html). The download contains a license.txt file that contains the LGPL.

Can one of the committers for this project provide the definitive answer?

Thanks in Advance

  The cited page actually lists two licenses, Common Public License 1.0 and GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
  
  Both of these applies - it is dual licensed.
  History-wise the HTMLParser up to version 1.6 was always LGPL.
  Then Version 2 was released under CPL.
  There were requests for both a CPL type license (Apache I think was the request) and a LGPL license, so now it is both.
  
  Choose either.

  Thanks Derrick.
  
  This was exactly the information I needed. I downloaded the wrong version. I was looking at 1.6 instead of 2.0.
