LICENSE/NOTICE file contents
This list might be interested to know that the current Solr LICENSE and NOTICE file contents are not Apache standard. The ManifoldCF project based its LICENSE and NOTICE files on the Solr ones and got the following icy reception in the incubator:
>>>>>>
The NOTICE file is still incorrect and includes a lot of unnecessary
stuff. Understanding how to do releases with the correct legal files
is one of the important parts of incubation and as this is the first
release for the poddling i think this needs to be sorted out.
For the NOTICE file, start with the following text (between the ---'s):
---
Apache ManifestCF
Copyright 2010 The Apache Software Foundation
This product includes software developed by
The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).
---
and then add _nothing_ unless you can find explicit policy documented
somewhere in the ASF that says it is required. If someone wants to add
something ask for the URL where the requirement is documented. The
NOTICE file should only include required notices, the other text thats
in the current NOTICE file could go in a README file, see
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice
For the LICENSE file, it should start with the AL as the current one
does, and then include the text for all the other licenses used in the
distribution. Those license that are currently in the NOTICE file
should be moved to the LICENSE file and then you need to verify that
all the 3rd party dependencies in the src and binary distributions are
also in the LICENSE files of those distributions.

Our NOTICE includes the following, which was taken from Solr (because we have a similar dependency). I'd like to know whether it is a valid thing to include, and where it says that "somewhere in Apache":

Because they are shipped with Solr. I don't see why it hurts to give people information about what's in the download.

RE: LICENSE/NOTICE file contents
Posted by ka...@nokia.com.
Everyone should (carefully) read the Apache License 2.0 section 4(d). It turns out that Apache has a somewhat unusual definition for the term "derivative work". It has to be something you actually modified, not just include. So the incubator approach seems correct; neither the HSQLDB notice nor the Jetty notice belong in the Solr NOTICE.txt file.
For ManifoldCF, I just moved them to the end of the README.txt. The old notice text is different from the corresponding LICENSE.txt text in both cases, so it did not make sense to either eliminate them or move them to LICENSE.txt.
Thanks,
Karl

The NOTICE text is actually different from the LICENSE text for HSQLDB, which is why I thought it must have come from an HSQLDB NOTICE file.
