Hi, > If the files don't contain any GPL IP, then what we have is a "licensing > documentation bug":
That's also my opinion. There are however several other issue with LICENSE and NOTICE, most are also "bugs' but I'm concerned about the other GPL licenses and the EPL license. Notice file needs some changes (mostly things removed). - No need to list Scala collection license as this is Apache licensed and has not NOTICE file. [1] - Look like JetBrains Annotations does have a NOTICE file and this text needs to go into the NOTICE file [2] - No need to list Persistent Collections library as it is MIT licensed and is already in LICENSE. [3] - No need to list snaptree as this is BSD and is already in LICENSE. [3] - No need to list org.jdk8.backport, you could out this in LICENSE (assuming it is public domain and not GPL). License file may need a few additions: - Add org.jdk8.backport (se above) - Possibly missing jcraft (BSD)? - Possibly missisng SL4j (MIT)? - Public domain books Is this GPL software bundled or required? ./modules/core/src/main/resources/META-INF/licenses/gnu-gplv2ce-license.txt ./modules/geospatial/licenses/jts-lgpl-license.txt ./modules/hibernate/licenses/hibernate-lgpl-2.1-license.txt ./modules/schedule/licenses/cron4j-lgpl-2.1-license.txt It look like the software bundles these? ./modules/ssh/licenses/jcraft-revised-bsd.txt ./modules/visor-console/licenses/jcraft-revised-bsd.txt ./modules/slf4j/licenses/sl4j-mit-license.txt ./modules/visor-plugins/licenses/slf4j-mit-license.txt ./modules/scalar/licenses/scala-bsd-license.txt ./modules/visor-console/licenses/scala-bsd-license.txt If so then need to be added to LICENSE. This may also be a concern as it is a weak copyleft license. [4] ./modules/aop/licenses/aspectj-epl-license.txt You may also want to mention these in LICENSE (public domain): ./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/alice-in-wonderland.txt ./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/art-of-war.txt ./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/huckleberry-finn.txt ./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/sherlock-holmes.txt ./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/tom-sawyer.txt Thanks, Justin 1. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#alv2-dep 2. https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/NOTICE.txt 3. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps 4. http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
