Ask HN: Question about the Apache 2.0 license and binary redistribution.
I want to embed the Jetty web server in an open source project I'm working on. I only want to include the jar file, not the source. I intend to license my source code with the BSD license. Jetty is using the Apache 2.0 license. There's no problem mixing the two, I'm just trying to figure out if I need to explicitly include the Apache license alongside the BSD license. I would certainly need to if I were using Jetty source directly. I don't think I need to if I'm just re-distributing the Jetty jar file, but I'm not sure. Are there any HNers out there that understand this stuff and can educate me?
