I started looking at this yesterday, but it was a surprise to nearly all of the PMC members that I've talked to that we were shipping this Jar. I doubt that we should be shipping it without a thorough license review and if PMC members didn't know about it, that's a huge red flag. I'm going to propose on the dev list that we remove this Jar to unblock the release. Then we can have a discussion about whether we actually want to release it. The original intent was to have a way for users to locally build a Docker container for testing. If we want to make that easier by having a distribution bundle that's fine, but we will need to actually review what is needed and remove any dependencies that aren't used. Then we will need to update the LICENSE file based on that. Updating the LICENSE file without reviewing dependencies is not the right direction. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
