Will do. On a related note, when and how did the DISCLAIMER file come to exist? I guess it's a legacy of Wicket, since that was the first time I recall seeing the file. To me it seems debatable whether the disclaimer is more prominent within the README file or in a separate DISCLAIMER file, but I'm OK to go with the latter if people prefer that. > I am also curious to know how Andy's and Ryan's contributions "came to be". Do > we have any paper trail of this? The notice for Andy Clark was added for the NekoHTML [1] dependency (ALv2). The Tika codebase doesn't actually contain any of that code, just uses it as a dependency, so AFAIK the attribution in NOTICE wouldn't actually be needed. It got added [2] a while ago when we were considering a release bundle that contains all the dependencies. The notice was briefly questioned [3] and discussed [4] on tika-dev@ but so far no action was taken on it. The notice for Ryan Ackley is more substantial, as the Tika codebase contains a few classes (part of [5]) from his now-dormant textmining.org [6] codebase. Those classes found their way into Tika via the Nutch and Lius Lite codebases and their status was considered on tika-dev@ with Ryan on Cc [7].
