#6 Missing copyright statements
Hey
At least the Java part lacks copyright statements (this may also extend to the C/CPP code, but I did not check). At least the Java src zip file contains an license, but I cannot find one for the src cpp zip file (I only checked the source zips of version 2.0.20).
The consequences of this is:
The Java zip file violates its own license (EPL 1.0 section 3):
"""
Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution,
if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify
the originator of the Contribution.
"""
The CPP zip is probably not redistributable, since lack of license implies "All
rights reserved". Assuming the CPP zip is under EPL 1.0 (or intended to be
under said license), then it (also) violates section 3.:
"""
When the Program is made available in source code form:
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
"""
Though again, that is only if the CPP part is under EPL 1.0.
Thank you in advance,
~Niels
PS: I originally filed this as https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3175629&group_id=155963&atid=797881, but I am refiling it here because that was the wrong tracker and I could not move it.
