[jira] Commented: (XALANJ-2358) Clean up Xalan-J 2.7.1 NOTICE/LICENSE

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2358?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12469823 ] 

Brian Minchau commented on XALANJ-2358:
---------------------------------------

After reviewing the links to licenses and notices at Apache, I have created a new
NOTICE.txt file that should both go in the java/ directory.

The LICENSE.txt file has the Apache 2.0 license, but also has additional licenses in it
and it is specified which portions of the project that those licenses apply to.
This information was gathered from the various old README and NOTICE files.

The new NOTICE file is a collection of NOTICES of copyrights.

The new NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt files are a collection of information across 
the following 27 files which should now be deleted.

THESE 27 FILES SHOULD BE DELETED:
=================================

1. java/licenses/BCEL.LICENSE.txt
2. java/licenses/LICENSE-SAX.html
3. java/licenses/LICENSE.DOM-documentation.html
4. java/licenses/LICENSE.DOM-software.html
5. java/licenses/regexp.LICENSE.txt
6. java/licenses/runtime.LICENSE.txt
7. java/licenses/serializer.LICENSE.txt
8. java/licenses/xalan.LICENSE.txt
9. java/licenses/xercesImpl.LICENSE.txt
10 java/licenses/serializer.NOTICE.txt
11 java/licenses/xalan.NOTICE.txt
12 java/licenses/xercesImpl.NOTICE.txt



With that done, the java/licenses directory is empty and the directory should be deleted.

13.java/tools/ant.LICENSE.txt
14 java/tools/java_cup.LICENSE.txt
15 java/tools/JLex.LICENSE.txt
16 java/tools/ stylebook-1.0-b3_xalan-2.LICENSE.txt
17 java/tools/ant.README.txt
18 java/tools/java_cup.README.txt
19 java/tools/JLex.README.txt
20 java/tools/stylebook-1.0-b3_xalan-2.README.txt


21 java/serializer.README.txt
22 java/xalan.README.txt

23 ava/lib/BCEL.README.txt
24 java/lib/regexp.README.txt
25 java/lib/runtime.README.txt
26 java/lib/xercesImpl.README.txt
27 java/lib/xml-apis.README.txt

> The xalan-j_2_7_1-bin.zip has a top level directory of  xalan-j_2_7_1  (this is OK)
> 1) In this directory the Apache NOTICE and LICENSE files are missing.  
> It is true that in the licenses subdirectory we have xalan.LICENSE.txt with the right contents, but it is in the wrong directory with a wrong base file name (same for NOTICE).
> 2) For serializer.jar xalan.jar xsltc.jar (if they are packaged) we should have:
> NOTICE.serializer.jar.txt
> LICENSE.serializer.jar.txt
> LICENSE.xalan.jar.txt
> NOTICE.xalan.jar.txt
> LICENSE.xstlc.jar.txt
> LICENSE.xsltc.jar.txt
> (these are already in the liceneses directory with the wrong names).
> 3) For other jars we should have NOTICE.<jarname>.txt and LICENSE.<jarname>.txt where possible
> 4) the various readme files should be deleted and any relevant information should be moved into the corresponding 
> NOTICE.<jarname>.txt file. For example xalan.README.txt should be deleted, which contains this:
> -----------------------------------------------------
> xalan.jar - Xalan-Java 2 - XSLT Processor.
> Source:	        http://xml.apache.org
> See the following files for licenses and attribution notices that apply to xalan.jar:
>   licenses/xalan.LICENSE.txt
>   licenses/xalan.NOTICE.txt
>   licenses/BCEL.LICENSE.txt
>   licenses/regexp.LICENSE.txt
>   licenses/runtime.LICENSE.txt
> -----------------------------------------------------
> So lines like these shoud be added to NOTICE.xalan.jar.txt:
> -----------------------------------------------------
> See the following files for licenses and attribution notices that apply to xalan.jar:
>   LICENSE.bcel.txt
>   LICENSE.regexp.txt
>   LICENSE.runtime.txt
>   NOTICE.serializer.txt
>   LICENSE.serializer.txt
> -----------------------------------------------------
> ... of course in the 2 jar distribution the attribution to regexp and runtime need not be there.
