Hi,

latest, 2.2.0 and 2.2.1, quartz distributions contain THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt file in which quartz dependency on Berkeley DB is mentioned:

Code:
(11) Certain components of Terracotta's software use the Oracle Berkeley DB; in 
 accordance with the Open Source License for Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition listed 
 below, the source code for those components and the DB software are available for
 free at:

Does quartz really use Berkeley DB? Does this means that any software which is using Quartz will have to pay for Berkely BD licence if redistribution of own source code is not an option?

Thx,
Nikola

AFAIK, this notice does only affect Terracotta Platform, as there's no Berkeley DB dependency or Berkeley licensed files in Quartz Scheduler.

I found that the mentioned file was removed recently from the SVN, adn replaced by a PDF file that fits much better the actual Quartz 3PP licenses:

Code:
Revision: 2467
 Author: ljacomet
 Date: Tuesday, January 19, 2016 7:01:46 PM
 Message:
 Update to license files prior to 2.2.3 release
 ----
 Added : /trunk/distribution/src/main/assembly/root/licenses/3rd_Party_Licenses_TAQ_2.2.3.pdf
 Added : /trunk/distribution/src/main/assembly/root/licenses/Legal Notice.txt
 Deleted : /trunk/distribution/src/main/assembly/root/licenses/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt




On the other hand, when using either Maven (quartz-2.2.x.jar) or the full distribution downloads (quartz-2.2.x-distribution.tar.gz), the downloaded JAR does not contain the THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt file, nor reference Berkeley DB or Berkeley license.

Can someone from Terracotta confirm this, please?
