[jira] [Created] (ASTERIXDB-1320) Improvements to LICENSE/NOTICE in binary artifacts

Till Westmann created ASTERIXDB-1320:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Improvements to LICENSE/NOTICE in binary artifacts
                 Key: ASTERIXDB-1320
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-1320
             Project: Apache AsterixDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: AsterixDB, Hyracks
            Reporter: Till Westmann


for AsterixDB (0.8.8-incubating) and Hyracks (0.2.17-incubating) (RC1):

* some of those jars contain bundled software which may need to be added to LICENSE and NOTICE
* LICENSE lists a large number of CDDL licensed bits of software. CDDL is Category B we should provide a link to the source code (see 3.1. Availability of Source Code in (1)). Previous advice on legal-discuss was this goes in NOTICE but recent discussions have left this a bit more muddled.
* There's no need to list in NOTICE the copyright years and name of an ASF licensed product or the line " This product includes software developed by”.
* The NOTICE files have a lot of not required information in them (2)
