Solr Licensing (Sizzle)

[Polhodzik Peter (ext)]

In the source code of Apache Solr 4.2.0 there is an unclear license reference in



* \solr-4.2.0\solr\webapp\web\js\lib\jquery-1.7.2.min.js

and

* \solr-4.2.0\solr\webapp\web\js\require.jstxt



Can you please tell me what kind of license does this refer to exactly:

"* Sizzle CSS Selector Engine

* Copyright 2011, The Dojo Foundation

* Released under the MIT, BSD, and GPL Licenses.

* More information: http://sizzlejs.com/"



"* Includes Sizzle.js

* http://sizzlejs.com/

* Copyright 2010, The Dojo Foundation

* Released under the MIT, BSD, and GPL Licenses."





Dojo Foundation says its not their business anymore.



1. Which version of GPL, which clause and copyright of BSD and MIT?

2. Is there a choice here? MIT or BSD or GPL? or all apply at the same time, hence the article "and"?

3. I cannot find Sizzle in the Solr distribution at all. Is it really included?





Thank you in advance



Peter Polhodzik

In my experience, the presence of several licenses normally indicate that you get to choose one of them, and not that they all apply.

If you go to sizzlejs.com and follow the link to documentation, you'll find the file MIT-LICENSE.txt. This file indicates that the current license for sizzle.js is a variation of the MIT license. It also indicates that the current "licensor" of sizzle.js is the jQuery project and other contributors, so you should be able to get the definitive answer on licensing terms from the jQuery project.
