Fwd: Permissive license included in Olio
The practice in Apache is to migrate all of the LICENSEs to the top
level project distribution (if there are multiple jars or zip or gz
files, then the LICENSEs get moved to the top of the trees).
The license is ok but we need to make sure it's in the right place(s).

Re: Fwd: Permissive license included in Olio
Posted by Shanti Subramanyam - PAE <Sh...@Sun.COM>.
I am confused.
Please see http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#3party.
It specifically states that code not directly submitted to the ASF must
retain their copyright notices as is.
But later on, in this same document under 'NOTICE file', there is a
reference to 3rd party notices.
Which is correct ?
