[jira] [Commented] (NUTCH-1217) Update NOTICE.txt to drop some copyrights

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1217?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13175949#comment-13175949 ] 

Lewis John McGibbney commented on NUTCH-1217:
---------------------------------------------

Hi Guys, as I've looked deeper in to this the first patch is a load of dribble. As we are pulling the overwhelming majority of our dependencies from upstream repositories using Ivy, there is no need to include them in the NOTICE.txt declarations. We only ship with JavaSWF & Automaton libraries (both of which are plugins). I'll commit this, do the same for Nutchgora then shut this one off.

One last question, is anyone aware if our licences for the above two packages are OK? I am not aware but I am more than happy to have a word with the authors to find out. Thanks
