[jira] Created: (LEGAL-59) Is the BSD License a NOTICE for the
purposes of 3rd party licensing policy?
Is the BSD License a NOTICE for the purposes of 3rd party licensing policy?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LEGAL-59
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-59
Project: Legal Discuss
Issue Type: Question
Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin
Assignee: Robert Burrell Donkin
BSD license family template [1] includes the clause:
* Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
My reading is that this means that the complete license [1] must be reproduced when a binary is included within an Apache release
This leads to the question: is the BSD License a NOTICE for the purposes of 3rd party licensing policy?

------------------------------------
Repeating from thread on list - not needed imo. We repeat the license in LICENSE or elsewhere in the distribution, which covers this attribution requirement.

Only concern with the patch is that it's BSD specific. It applies to most attribution licenses.

Robert Burrell Donkin commented on LEGAL-59:
--------------------------------------------
The LICENSE needs to state which components are covered by which license. As far as policy goes, the NOTICE just needs required third party notices and relocated copyrights. I'm not unhappy about including extra information (such as copyright and licenses) in the NOTICE but unless care is taken with phrasing it does make things difficult downstream since the NOTICE must be distributed even though this information may now be inaccurate.
For example, if the NOTICE contains the statement:
"foo.jar is copyright Bar and is licensed under the FooBar License http://www.example.org/foobar.txt"
then this may no longer be accurate in a distribution containing a different jar named 'foo.jar' which was created by someone else.

Craig Russell commented on LEGAL-59:
------------------------------------
Re-reading this again, I think that the BSD license template suitably modified for the copyright holder and release dates is a LICENSE and therefore needs to be reproduced in its entirety in the LICENSE file of a distribution.
The NOTICE file of a distribution should state which components are covered by which license.
So in the case of ANTLR, recently discussed on the mail lists, the complete license from http://www.antlr.org/license.html , beginning with the phrase "ANTLR 3 License" goes into the LICENSE file. Then, the NOTICE is something like:
"The antlr-3.1.3.jar is distributed under the terms of the ANTLR 3 License."
There is an interesting discussion in wikipedia on the subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses

Sam Ruby commented on LEGAL-59:
-------------------------------
For clarity: the MIT License requires that the copyright and permission notices be included in the distribution, so the question isn't whether we need to include that information at all, but which file that information must be contained in.
I would not object to that information being contained in either the NOTICE or README file.

So what constitutes a "required notice"?
i.e. exactly what wording does require an entry in the NOTICE file?

Hi Sam,
I hope your comment was a typo, and you meant:
I would not object to that information being contained in either the NOTICE or LICENSE file.

> BSD license family template [1] includes the clause:
> * Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
> My reading is that this means that the complete license [1] must be reproduced when a binary is included within an Apache release
> This leads to the question: is the BSD License a NOTICE for the purposes of 3rd party licensing policy?
