[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-1367) Include LICENSES(.txt) and NOTICES(.txt) for every component

["Konstantin Boudnik (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1367?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14054305#comment-14054305 ] 

Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1367:
--------------------------------------------

Not sure about the scope: are you saying that we need to redistribute the license and notice files from the components as a part of our packages?
Cause otherwise it means that we have to supply the license info on our own and I don't think we should be in the business of potentially making up legally binding info. Thoughts?

> We need to make sure that every component includes the appropriate documentation of the open-source licenses they are distributed under. Not every package may include these documents, but every package should probably depend on the package that will provide them.
