Switch Base64 Impl from OpenJDK (GPL2) to Apache #8
Comments
refs #2 |
Here is the discussion about the license: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/7164/i-modified-and-used-gpl2-code-in-my-apache-2-open-source-project-can-my-projec/7165#7165 |
So actually Im not a fan of the Apache Codec Commons implementations seems to focus on code reusability than performance and concisenes. A lot of the lib seems really messy (there is a second Base64 impl e.g. and some exotic codecs and Message Digest impls for any reason) |
Merged. |
So it seems, if I use OpenJDK source, the whole library will be be GPL v2.
It is better to modify the https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/binary/Base64.html Apache Commons Codec version.
