@Kundana
Thanks for your patience.
Kundana:
Our product has stringent scrutiny while up-taking third party softwares and we have to follow a rigid process to get everything verified.
All our Enterprise customers are practicing the same approach. IBM is especially strict about 3rd party licenses.
Kundana:
I could find the file ‘thirdpartylicenses-Aspose.Words for Java.txt’ only in the latest .jar. It is not available in the older jars like 18.5 and 18.6. Is this new development or did we miss something?
The file is exist from May 2012. Before this it was separate license files for each 3rd party library. Please download the latest version of Aspose.Words for Java 18.10 from following link. It contains the thirdpartylicenses-Aspose.Words for Java.txt in license folder.

Kundana:
Can you mention the versions of these libraries/products being used in 18.10 of Aspose.Words for Java to validate if they are latest? We are planning to uptake 18.10 since it seems to fix some of the security features as required by our product.
We have not practice to automatically update 3rd party licenses to the latest version:
- We have some custom code inside some libraries - it can’t be updated automatically.
- Before release our Jar with updated 3rd party libraries we have to perform additional tests.
Could you please share what exactly versions of with libraries you need?
Kundana:
Also, any of these are viral licenses? Can you please confirm.
Could you please elaborate this query? We will then answer your query accordingly.
Kundana:
The license from ObjectPlanet’s Java PngEncoder. Will Aspose the binary or source code along with the jars?
We have some our custom source code. Only few needed classes from PngEncoder jar are obfuscated into our jar. So we avoid the Jar Hell.

So, we understand that you have custom code in the 3rd party libraries you are using and so cannot uptake the latest versions of those other libraries. So, what are the specific versions of those libraries you are using.
For eg: ObjectPlanet’s Java PngEncoder latest version is 2.0.2. Are you using this or any specific older version like 2.0 or 1.1 etc.
This is what we are looking at for each of the third party versions you use.

So, here you are saying the classes required are already part of the Aspose jar that you provide. Is out understanding correct?
Thanks,
