My understanding is that the current MRJAdapter is licensed under the Artistic License v. 1.0, and the FSF says the following about it:


Artistic License 1.0
We cannot say that this is a free software license because it is too vague; some passages are too clever for their own good, and their meaning is not clear. We urge you to avoid using it, except as part of the disjunctive license of Perl.

Hence, I would not use libraries licensed under the Artistic License in a GPLed software.

Besides, the software started using MRJAdapter when it was at version 1.0.8 and under the LGPL license. And there are no technical reasons to upgrade to MRJAdapter 1.1 if that means having to change of distribution license.


package com.apple.mrj.macos.libraries does not exist
package com.apple.mrj.jdirect does not exist

Read MRJ Adapter's build.xml.

Then use the jar-files under the Stubs sub-dir.

Thank you for the hint.
