Description
The WAR file download contains Jason Hunter's com.oreilly.servlet package in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Its license terms (see http://servlets.com/cos/license.html) are problematic I fear.
Especially items 5 and 6 are currently violated:
"5. The distribution includes copyright notice as follows: "The source code, object code, and documentation in the com.oreilly.servlet package is copyright and owned by Jason Hunter." in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
6. You reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions, and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."
Both "license.txt" and "release notes.txt" contained in the WAR file download do not mention anything demanded by the terms cited above.
A problematic second point is the license for commercial usage and redistribution as every developer must own a copy of Jason's book or negotiate a seperate license.
Jakarta Commons FileUpload (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/) is a possible replacement at least for some functionality.
