> The release process should not generate a source distribution whose {{LICENSE}} file has different contents from the {{LICENSE}} file stored in Git.
> Rationale: Source distributions should be a mirror of the contents of Git at the time of the release. (Possibly a few files are omitted -- see CALCITE-4575 for example -- but files should not be generated/compiled.) Users expect that the LICENSE file they see in Git is the same as the LICENSE file in the source distribution.
> One possible implementation of this is as follows. The release process should not overwrite the {{LICENSE}} file when generating the source distribution. It should generate a {{LICENSE}} file (possibly from a {{LICENSE.template}} file), check that the one in source control is identical, and fail if it is not.
