             Summary: Generate full binary licensing via collect_license_files.sh
                 Key: FLINK-13967
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-13967
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build System
            Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
            Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
             Fix For: 1.10.0, 1.9.1


Currently, {{collect_license_files.sh}} is a generic tool to collect licenses and and concatenace NOTICE files from jars contained in a given directory.
In practice though this script is only used to assemble the NOTICE-binary file and licenses-binary directory.

To make the script more user-friendly I propose to
# add the `-binary` suffix to the generate file/directory
# automatically add the NOTICE-binary header
# automatically add the LICENSE.slf4j file

With this we can generate the entire binary licensing without and additional steps being required, which will also make it easy to add an automatic check for the correctness of said licensing.
