Hi legal discuss
=20
this is my first time I'm posting to a mail list (I didnt even found a way =
to search the mailing list). So please appologize for running into some lap=
se. If I do=2C please let me know=2C so I can avoid them for the next time.
=20
It's also my company's first time to implement GPL or similiar licensed sof=
tware.
=20
Therefore my question: how do I really apply the AL 2.0 to our commercial p=
roduct?
=20
Our product is not free=2C you are not allowed to distribute it=2C to freel=
y download it and so on.
=20
We like to use the PDFBox Project. But I fear IMHO that adding AL 2.0 to ou=
r software will allow to anybody to distribute=2C copy=2C modifiy=2C etc...=
.. which is of course not in our interest.
=20
I tought of the following scenario to include the PDFBox Jar in our product=
:
add a "\ext" folder in the installation folder=2C put .jar=2C license.txt=
=2C notice.txt in that folder. Done.
=20
During the install wizard is a licence dialog (with our license=2C disclaim=
er=2C ...). Do I have to modifiy our license text there? E.g. "This product=
 contains PDFBox libraries of the ASF. see \ext\license.txt" ???
=20
What are exactly the steps we have to do=2C to include a libriary (PDFBox) =
which is licensed under AL 2.0?
