The issue with maven is that maven is not really a finished product so you could consider it is not in the scope of the licence.. "Geir explained that Maven doesn't use JavaMail directly but on behalf of project and though even technically the license is violated the spirit of the license is not." It's ok for XWiki as fas as I am concerned.. Ludovic Vincent Massol wrote:

If I read correctly on the JavaMail FAQ
*Q:* Is the JavaMail API implementation completely free? Can I ship it along with my product? *A:* Yes. The current release of the JavaMail API implementation, is completely free and you can include it in your product. This release includes IMAP, POP3, and SMTP providers as well. Please do read the LICENSE <http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/LICENSE.txt> and ensure that you understand it. The JavaBeans Activation Framework is also free for use under a similar license.
Hmmm... Good points! I had read:
- http://maven.apache.org/project/sun-licensing-journey.html - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03410.html
I have just asked the question again on Maven IRC to try understanding what is the issue...
