[1] Users were then free to choose the license they wanted by downloading the respective jar. . The source code itself was, however, never explicitly licensed. After raising this issue on the jackson-dev mailing list [2] FasterXML decided to license future versions of jackson 2 under Apache-2.0 only [3]. A copy of the license can be found in src/main/resources/META-INF/LICENSE. .
