Parquet-testing repository license question

Hi,


I noticed that there's a parquet-testing repository linked as a Git submodule from the Apache Arrow repository here:


https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/cpp/submodules


The parquet-testing repository currently doesn't seem to have a license file. I was wondering about what the licensing implications of this are.


Is the license considered to be implicitly 'inherited' from the parent Apache Arrow repository? Perhaps it would be helpful to have an explicit license file to eliminate any potential ambiguity here


Thanks,

Rylan

Hi Wes,


Thank you for replying...I will go ahead and create a new JIRA issue for this then.

hi Rylan,

We don't distribute this data with Arrow releases, but it is depended
on by some unit tests. For the avoidance of ambiguity we should add
the Apache 2.0 license to that repository.
