             Summary: Create separated LICENSE AND NOTICE files for binary and source releases
                 Key: RATIS-249
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RATIS-249
             Project: Ratis
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Elek, Marton


Thanks to [~jmclean] who reported this problem during the 0.2.0 rc1 vote.

From the mail:

{quote}It likely that your convenience binary will need a different LICENSE and NOTICE{quote}

From the [licensing howto|https://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#binary]:

{quote}As a result, the LICENSE and NOTICE files for a binary distribution may well differ from those in the source distribution it was built from.

In any case, the principle remains the same: LICENSE and NOTICE must exactly represent the contents of the distribution they reside in.
