The license ?

[saulius-krasuckas]

Under what license is the jxrlib project being released, please?

In #21 I see references to Simplified BSD and GPL 2+ and pom.xml and *.java files.
But I see no dedicated LICENSE file somewhere around.

While this is NOT legal advice, however from looking at this repo my guess is that the source files are released under gpl2+ and the binary is released under Simplified BSD. The funny part is if you were to compile the binary yourself then you are not allowed to release it under Simplified BSD. Its perfectly legit as far as I am aware for the copyright holder (i.e.) the author to do this however. I can only presume that his intentions were that anyone can use the binary however they want (BSD License) but If they want to edit the sources and republish them or the resulting binary they have to do it under GPL2+. Why anyone would do this, your guess is as good as mine. Id have just chosen the LGPL 2 or 3 in this case.
