Hi,

First thanks and congrats for this gorgeous piece of software!

At my research lab we have developed a scientific application which makes an extensive use of Fastutil. Our application is based on Eclipse, but we are unable to release it because the license validation fails. The reason for this is the file

/fastutil-8.1.0/test/it/unimi/dsi/fastutil/io/FastMultiByteArrayInputStreamTest.java

which still has LGPL License.

Is it possible to update the license notice ?

Thank you,
Luc. (French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique).

OK... can you send me the file? I don't have that license in the file. In fact, I downloaded the 8.1.0 release from Maven and the file simply has no licence.

Is it possible that the test is choking because there's no license in the file?

Ciao,

Salve Sebastiano,

Ecco il file in attachement. L'ho preso nel'ultima release di Fastutil, nel "source tarball".

Se non c'e' notizia di license nel file, il file viene considerato come "proprietario" e quindi non puo' essere utilizzato da nessuno. Tutti i file devono avere un testo di license. E a proposito, nel package unimi.it.dsi.fastutil.io ci sono parecchi file che appunto non hanno la license.
Ma forse non e' utile distribuire i test nel tarball?

Buonasera,
Luc.

OK, fastutil 8.1.1 ha tutti i file con licenza. Devi dare a Maven Central un paio d'ore per tirarlo su...
