[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-357) Does binary distribution that
bundles jars from other apache projects need to also bundle the full notice
from those dependencies?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-357?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16319266#comment-16319266 ]
Stian Soiland-Reyes commented on LEGAL-357:
-------------------------------------------
This is also addressed in http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#binary
Note that this means your binary NOTICE will differ from your source
NOTICE/LICENSE.
Yes, that is a legal requirement from the Apache License.
This is also true for transitive dependencies which you include in the
binary distro.
(Tip: if the upstream binary do not provide a NOTICE or
META-INF/NOTICE, you probably have nothing to propagate)
Yes, that is a legal requirement from the Apache License.
However see
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#bundle-asf-product
for some simplifications that can be done here.

> Reporter: Ivan Kelly
>
> Our project, apache bookkeeper, bundles a bunch of jars in a binary distribution. The majority of them are ASL licensed, and mostly ASF projects.
> From clause 4 (b) of ASF:
> {code}
> (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
> distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
> include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
> within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
> pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
> of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
> as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
> documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
> within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
> wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
> of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
> do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
> notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
> or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
> that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
> as modifying the License.
> {code}
> For non-ASF projects, do I need to bundle the notice files for these dependencies?
> For ASF projects do I need to bundle the notice for each dependency?
