The LICENSE file must include the text - or provide a pointer to a local copy of the text - of all licenses that are relevant to the bits that are in the enclosing distribution bundle (be that zip/jar/tar etc). There are no exclusions here. The NOTICE file must include any *required* attributions. Not all licenses require attribution. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice > This is the current NOTICE file: > > Apache Flex FlexUnit > Copyright 2014 The Apache Software Foundation > > This product includes software developed at > The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). > > The Developer of the Original Code, known as FlexUnit4, > is Digital Primates IT Consulting Group (http://www.digitalprimates.net). > Copyright (c) 2007-2011, Digital Primates IT Consulting Group. > > The COPYRIGHT file contains the standard ALv2 LICENSE and nothing else. > > Can anyone give any advice on if the above LICENCE and NOTICE file are > correct for the source release and if they are not what else needs to go into > them? > > Thanks, > Justin > > 1.http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201403.mbox/%3cCAAS6=7g=pbo+igtarw1hka1au69h7zyb4azkt+z2n-fom0o...@mail.gmail.com%3e > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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
