Examples where portions of a distribute may not be completely under the ASF license
- We sometimes distribute code as BSD or MIT or public domain, specifically so that it can be used by non-ASF projects. Changes to autoconf stuff is one such instance.
- We distribute small amounts of source that is directly consumed by the ASF product at runtime in source form, and for which that source is unlikely to be changed anyway (say, by virtue of being specified by a standard). An example of this is the web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd, whose inclusion is mandated by the JSR 127: JavaServer Faces specification.
All such deviations are carefully documented.
