Andreas Lehmk=C3=BChler commented on LEGAL-332:
------------------------------------------

I guess LEGAL-331 gives all the needed answers.

Well do you have the license to the text underlying the scan? Is it a copyr=
ighted work? What is the text of?
{quote}
Just for the sake of completeness: no we don't have a license, the work is =
copyrighted, the text excerpts are from two books and one specification.

> Levigo has donated their JBIG2 plugin to the PDFBox PMC, see PDFBOX-3906.=
 The source includes a couple of binary testfiles. All are JBIG2 bitstreams=
 created with different parameters. The content of those testfiles isn't re=
levant for the tests itself.
> Some of those testfiles contain copyrighted stuff and the origin project =
doesn't have a license to use them. The question is, can we claim "fair use=
" for those files as
> - most of them just include *one or two* scanned pages of a larger docume=
nt containing many more pages
> - one of the files is a dithered *low resolution* image of Ally McBeal ak=
a Callista Flockhart which can be found all over the internet
> Can we claim "fair use" for those files? And if so, are we allowed to inc=
lude those testfiles in our source repository?
