Licensing

[samczsun]

Hello,

What is JD-Core licensed under? Is it GPLv3 or All Rights Reserved?

Furthermore, may I suggest licensing your project under Apache 2.0? You'll find that the majority of projects are licensed via Apache 2.0 as GPLv3 is much more restrictive and infectious.

Regards.

Here the answert for you:

JD-Core project will be under the GPLv3 license, eventually. The project was born in 2007. Before opening the sources, a refactoring should be done. Today, you can:

• use jd-core-0.7.1.jar stored on GitHub
• decompile my decompiler !! :)
• take a look on the excellent projects https://github.com/fesh0r/fernflower and https://bitbucket.org/mstrobel/procyon

And at
https://github.com/java-decompiler/jd-gui/blob/master/NOTICE
stands

JD-Core Java Release - GPLv3

So, to combine all the informations:

• The sourcecode is currently not published, but will be in the future
• It is already under the GPLv3
• It is allowed to decompile the source.

=> So you can decompile JD-Core and publish the decompilation under the GPLv3.
To create the header-files on Unix, you can use this scripts:
#104

Similar situation exists with the CFR-Decompiler (http://www.benf.org/other/cfr/):
As you can read there in the FAQ
http://www.benf.org/other/cfr/faq.html
the binary is already published under the MIT-license, the sources will be in this current state not publiched, but it is allowed to decompile.
