It seems to hold true for version 1 too. I am referring to:
http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonLicensing
and in particular the statement "Jackson JSON processor is by default an Open
Source product, available under Apache License (AL) 2.0, LGPL 2.1 with users
choosing which license they want to use (by choosing appropriate jars).". This
is then reflected on the download page:
http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonDownload
but I have yet to find an explicit statement that the *source code* is
licensed like this too and not only the jars. It seems to be clear that this
is their intend, but I am under the impression that this should be stated much
more explicitly (but IANAL).
