             Summary: Update licenses of bundled libraries
                 Key: NUTCH-2290
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2290
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: deployment
    Affects Versions: 1.12, 2.3.1
            Reporter: Sebastian Nagel
             Fix For: 2.4, 1.13


The files LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt were last edited 5 years ago and should be updated to include all licenses of dependencies (and their dependencies) in accordance to [Assembling LICENSE and NOTICE HOWTO|http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html]:
# check for missing or obsolete licenses due to added or removed dependencies
# update year in NOTICE.txt -- should be a range according to the licensing HOWTO
# bundled libraries are referenced with path and version number, e.g {{lib/icu4j-4_0_1.jar}}. This would require to update the LICENSE.txt with every dependency upgrade. A more generic reference ("ICU4J") would be easier to maintain but the HOWTO requires to "specify the version of the dependency as licenses are sometimes changed".
# try to reduce the size of LICENSE.txt (currently 5800 lines). Mainly, according to the HOWTO there is no need to repeat the Apache license again and again.
