Summary

The Crowd2 integration plugin is using dependencies that are closed source and are not licensed with an OSI approved open source license. The Jenkins project governance document and the hosting page state that we deliver plugins with open source licenses.

We should suspend distribution of the Crowd2 integration plugin.

The specific license of concern is:

The Atlassian EULA 3.0 links to the same license agreement.

From the /plugin/crowd2/wrapper/thirdPartyLicenses page of a Jenkins installation that includes the crowd2 plugin:

Using the Atlassian Customer Agreement:

  • com.atlassian.crowd:crowd-integration-api:5.1.5
  • com.atlassian.crowd:crowd-integration-client-rest:5.1.5
  • com.atlassian.crowd:embedded-crowd-api:5.1.5
  • com.atlassian.crowd:crowd-integration-client-common:5.1.5

Using the Atlassian 3.0 End User License Agreement

  • com.atlassian.collectors:atlassian-collectors-util:1.1

Reproduction steps

  1. Install Jenkins 2,426.1 (or any other recent Jenkins version)
  2. Install the Crowd2 integration plugin
  3. Open the /plugin/crowd2/wrapper/thirdPartyLicenses URL and confirm that you see something like this:

Suspend Crowd2 plugin distribution - uses closed source dependency
f9eb151 
jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3854 explains that
the Crowd2 integration plugin uses a dependency that is not open source
licensed.

The Crowd2 integration library is Atlassian licensed as described in
jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3842 (comment)

The Atlassian license is not an open source license.  Refer to
https://www.atlassian.com/legal/software-license-agreement for the
details of the license.

https://www.jenkins.io/project/governance/#license says that the Jenkins
project requires plugins that it distributes to be open source, including
their dependencies.  When a closed source dependency is detected in a
plugin, we suspend distribution of that plugin.  If maintainers update
the plugin to remove the closed source dependency, distribution can
begin for the new release that removes the closed source dependency.

Fixes jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3854

Remove Crowd2 demo and integration test - suspended plugin
f4d163e 
jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3854 notes that
the Crowd2 plugin uses one or more closed source dependencies.
Those dependencies make it ineligible to be distributed by the Jenkins
update center.  Let's remove the integration test and documentation so
that we are not describing the configuration of a suspended plugin.

jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3842 (comment)
describes the case where we detected the closed source dependency
through the configuration as code plugin integration test of the Crowd2
plugin.  Unless we include the Atlassian closed source repository,
the configuration as code plugin fails to compile its integration tests.

jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3842 (comment)
provides additional details from the investigation related to the Jenkins
artifact repository and its caches.
