license on Flint.
platform/marmotta-sparql/src/main/resources/web/admin/editor/sparql/
flint-editor.js
has the Apache contributed software header on it. It says it's under a
contributor license agreement but it's not is it?
Flint is recorded as MIT-licenced
(Other flint-originated files seem to be the same.)
Has automation accidentally relabelled it?
Has this happened elsewhere?

The NOTICE file in the source root *should* contain the complete list of
3rd party works at the moment, so it should suffice to check there. In any
case, it is always worthwhile synchronizing the NOTICE file again with all
the modules. Javascript libraries will only be contained in the modules
under the platform/ reactor.

This was my original thought as well - in this case it might even not be
necessary to have all the NOTICEs in the binary distributions (the jar
files retrieved via Maven contain that info). On the other hand, if I
follow the 4th guiding principle in
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html#principles
then I'd say we should make it as easy as possible for users of our
software to see what they are getting into. I am now listing even the BSD
and MIT licensed dependencies there also, because it simply might be a
relevant information for the user, even if (s)he is not restricted any more
by these licenses than by the Apache License. In this, I am mostly
following the SOLR example:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/solr/NOTICE.txt
They also include jQuery, D3, ... in the NOTICE file, even though they are
MIT licensed.
Greetings,
Sebastian

Looks like every case can be different (very) :-(
How about we draw up a list of modules and split the task of checking
each one. A discussion and process on dev@ for the community.
We're suffering because of the various levels and interpretation of how
3rd parties apply license info.
(I am wondering about putting a NOTICE/LICENCE in every included
dependency then no need to put in top level N&L. Other mentors - thoughts?)

Yes, I guess this is the source of the issue: we applied the headers
plugin in LMF, and now we have it here. So I'll try to fix it. Apologize
for it.

Hi Andy,
you are right, the header should not be there (and the NOTICE file also
mentions the MIT license correctly). The reason why this was automatically
added is probably that the file did not have its own license header before.
I begin regretting a bit the use of the license header plugin ...
Sergio, can you please re-check all 3rd party source files whether they
have been updated by the plugin incorrectly?
Greetings,
Sebastian
