Thanks for the pointer. The thread includes the statement: " Given that I said that rolling up LICENSE and NOTICE files for artifacts that assemble and contain other artifacts such as wars and ears is out of scope for this proposal," so I'm not convinced that the thread applies here. But even if it does, Henry Yandell wrote: "Let's say I include a few of the jars in my distribution, but not all. Then I'll need to add some of the LICENSE files and not other." > Shindig uses the org.apache:apache-jar-resource-bundle:1.4 which is > AFAIK compliant with the requirements discussed on legal-discuss. I'm not convinced. It may be that the 3rd party jars don't need to be mentioned in NOTICE, but I'm sure that their licences need to be included in the LICENSE file. > Cheers, > > > Vincent > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
