OR with embedded Java - license?

[wl]

Hi!

At our university we're no longer allowed to use Oracle Java. On my computers I have installed OpenJDK, but this is not an easy solution for colleagues or students. 

Can you please give me some information what Java distribution/license is used in OpenRefine with embedded Java?

Thanks,

Wolf

Hi Wolf,

The JDK that we bundle in our Windows and Mac packages is OpenJDK,
available under the "GPLv2+CE" license:

Best,
Antonin

Antonin, team,

Hmm, I wonder if we should just mention that on the download/release description to avoid this question in the future?  Probably?

Thanks for your quick reply, Antonin!

 

Very good! So we willuse this version in the future. The release of OR+Java came out just at the right time :)
