[slf4j-user] What is the correct jcl-over-slf4j license?

[Michiel Haisma]

Hi Ceki, Joachim,

Thank you for your responses.

 > Given that jcl-over-slf4j is based to a large extent on 
commons-logging, it is licensed under the Apache License as attested by 
the LICENCE.TXT file under jcl-over-slf4j/ folder in the source code and 
every java file under jcl-over-slf4j/.

Your point about commons-logging was also what I was thinking, but I 
thought I made sure to be correct in this matter.

 > Maven logic cannot override legal logic.

Obviously not, but many tools use this information to inform users under 
what license they can use something, and I perhaps not everyone goes 
digging through repositories for additional, or overwriting license files.

 > If it is a reference, and if you redistribute only one component, then
you need to obey just that component's license.

I assume by this you mean that for just using this component, only 
references the parent by reference, and not by inclusion.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
