The JDime script says "Licensed under the Apache License", which conflicts with README.md which says "JDime is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License.".

Yes, the Script is generated by Gradle from THIS template. So the license there is defined by the Gradle authors, not JDime.

Not sure we can do anything about this short of writing our own template. Any input here @xai ?

As @GSeibt stated, the Apache license comes from the Gradle plugin that generates the unix/windows wrapper scripts. As this is basically boilerplate code, I don't know how copyrightable that is anyway, from a legal perspective. Do you have any sources indicating a conflict between the licenses, @mernst?

I think we have two issues here:

  1. Is using Apache-licensed software within our LGPL product legal?
  2. Should we explicitly mention the generated startup scripts' license (e.g., in the README)?
