+ Subject: xhtmlrenderer Debian package
+ 
+ Hi Joshua,
+ 
+ I'm just emailing you to let you know about a Debian package that I'm
+ preparing for xhtmlrenderer and to ask you some questions about the
+ licensing and copyright of some files included in the source tarball released
+ by your project.
+ 
+ In the LICENSE file is stated the following:
+ 
+ "All source code to Flying Saucer itself is licensed under the GNU Lesser
+ General Public License (LGPL); you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
+ the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free
+ Software Foundation, either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option)
+ any
+ later version."
+ 
+ However there are some files without a header and they don't have an author
+ or copyright statement available:
+ 
+ ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/tool/Boxer.java
+ ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/simple/PDFRenderer.java
+ ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/pdf/DefaultPDFCreationListener.java
+ ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/simple/XHTMLPrintable.java
+ ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/util/PermutationGenerator.java
+ ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/util/GenerateBigFile.java
+ several files under ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/test/*
+ several files under ./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/pdf/*
+ 
+ (There are probably more, the check could be more exhaustive if
+ necessary).
+ 
+ Are those files also licensed under LGPL-2.1 license?
+ If not, how are licensed those files?

+ 
+ Hi Miguel. A Debian package sounds great.   I'm actually not the project =
+ leader anymore (not for a few years now). I've CC'ed Patrick who can =
+ give you the info you need.  The site is down due to the Java.net =
+ transition, though I believe most of the site is actually stored other =
+ places now.
+ 
+ good luck!

+ 
+ Hi Miguel
+ 
+ 1) Regarding licensing - our intention has always been that all the  
+ code for Flying Saucer itself is licensed under the LGPL. If any are  
+ missing the license header, this is most likely an oversight on our  
+ part which no one has brought to our attention. The only exception(s)  
+ might be the documentation and perhaps some of the demo code, but I  
+ would need to double-check that. The library itself is LGPL. I believe  
+ we are comfortable that our CVS (and now GitHub) repository shows the  
+ origin of the files in our source tree. We can correct any licensing  
+ issues in the source tree.
