[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-15035) Clean up Hive licenses for binary distribution

["Owen O'Malley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15035?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15626844#comment-15626844 ] 

Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-15035:
--------------------------------------

Comments:
* We should remove the Jersey, Microsoft, and Dell lines from the NOTICE file. None of them are required. Microsoft and Dell contributed the code directly to the project and Jersey isn't part of the source release.
* I'd suggest using the groupId from the Maven coordinates for each jar (ie. co.cask.tephra instead of tephra) so that it is unambiguous which software is intended.
* Repeating the entire license for each package seems excessive.  I'd think a single copy of each license and a file saying which component uses which license.
* How did you generate the list of dependencies to include?
* I'd propose renaming the "licenses" directory to "binary-package-licenses" since they only impact binary distributions.
* Although it is *really* slow, I'd suggest documenting "mvn project-info-reports:dependencies" as a very useful tool to generate the report for binary licensing.

> Hive's current LICENSE file contains information not needed for the source distribution.  For the binary distribution we are missing many license files as a number of jars included in Hive come with various licenses.  This all needs cleaned up.
