JavaMail License
JavaMail uses several licenses:
- Most of the JavaMail source code is licensed under the CDDL license and the GPLv2 with Classpath Exception license; see the license information at the top of each source file.
- The source code for the demo programs is licensed under the BSD license; again, the license is in each source file.
- The binary jar files published to the Maven repository are licensed under the same CDDL and GPLv2+CE licenses as the corresponding source code; see the file
META-INF/LICENSE.txtin each jar file. - The official JavaMail Reference Implementation zip file download released by Oracle on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html is licensed under the Oracle Binary Code License.
You'll find the text of the CDDL and GPLv2+CE licenses in the workspace in the file mail/src/main/resources/META-INF/LICENSE.txt.
The Oracle BCL license text is in the workspace in the file doc/release/LICENSE.txt.
Don't let the presence of these license files in the workspace confuse you into thinking that they apply to all files in the workspace.
You should always read the license file included with every download, and read the license text included in every source file.
