James Mitchell commented on WW-2437:
------------------------------------

This issue seems vague to me.  Are we talking about the libraries that are including during the Maven build?  If so, it's not our responsibility to provide those licenses.  If there is any non-Apache licensed software included with the build artifacts, it should be compatible with the ASL 2.0 or we will have to remove it.

I will resolve this issue as not a problem unless someone can give me a patch or a decent explanation on where to begin with this ... examples .. anything.

Antonio Petrelli commented on WW-2437:
--------------------------------------

James,
Point 4.d. of the Apache License:

<snip>
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.
</snip>

So we need to add a line in the NOTICE file for each non-Apache and ASL 2.0 licensed 3rd party software distributed in binary form.

For other licenses, like the BSD, we need to add a line in the NOTICE file *and* the license itself for each redistributed file in binary form.
