[jira] [Commented] (CLEREZZA-616) Fix incorrect NOTICE files

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLEREZZA-616?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13095986#comment-13095986 ] 

Hasan commented on CLEREZZA-616:
--------------------------------

Pasted my answer in the email here

The code borrowed from the book [1] is src/main/java/org/apache/clerezza/rdf/core/impl/util/Base64.java
which can be downloaded from [2].
Anyone has experience with the copyright of such code?

I don't think this is a problem. But if this IS a problem, we may use [3] which is also licensed under ASL v2.0 or higher. I think we first need to find out whether there is a problem with the license using the borrowed code  before attempting to made changes to rdf.core using another implementation

By the way, the mulgara code in rdf.core that I use is [4] which is licensed under ASL v2.0

Cheers
Hasan

> Which is not the case for a number of them in Clerezza: a number of NOTICE.txt files are empty, and others contains text like "Portions are" which doesn't say what they are, or "Portions are! Inc. All rights reserved."
> Assuming the top-level NOTICE.txt is ok, this command finds the ones which are different:
>  md5 $(find . -name NOTICE.txt) | grep -v $(md5 -q NOTICE.txt)
> And the empty ones:
>  find . -name NOTICE.txt -size 0
