> 1) "LICENSE is missing some BSD licensed software":
> a) - BSD licensed software copyright 2011-2012, Florian Schoppmann [2]
> [2]. ./src/ports/postgres/cmake/FindPostgreSQL.cmake
> Action:  Copyright of this file is *not* owned by Florian Schoppmann; that is a mistake.  Copyright is owned by EMC Corporation which is already listed in LICENSE.  Therefore remove the improper copyright line from this file.
> b)  - BSD license software copyright 2004, 2015 Sandia Corporation. [3]
> [3]. ./cmake/UseLATEX.cmake
> Action:  Correct, need to add this one to LICENSE.
> c) BSD licensed software copyright 2011 Clement Creusot [4]
> [4]. ./cmake/FindArmadillo.cmake
> Action:  This file is not needed by MADlib.  Will be deleted.
> d) - may want to double check copyright line in this file [1]
> [1]. ./src/ports/postgres/modules/pmml/table_to_pmml.sql_in
> Action: No action required.  After investigation, this file is BSD license from the previous MADlib work done at EMC.
> 2) - "NOTICE contains too many copyright lines, copyright lines should not be in NOTICE unless they are from relocated headers [5]:
> [5]. http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#headers
> Action: Remove unnecessary line from notice file.
> 3) BSD headers/legal
> "Given the large number of missing headers it’s extremely difficult to review this release,
> it is impossible to know if an individual file without a header is BSD or Apache licensed.
> Going forward to know if a file is missing an Apache header you would need to compare it with
> the previous release which is hardly ideal. Hopefully the legal discussion will come to some
> conclusion / consensus and the header situation can be resolved in future releases."
> The legal-discuss on how to proceed re: missing BSD licensing headers is here:
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/201603.mbox/%3C9D1AF43C-370B-4E58-B0EF-2E29D242F50B%40jaguNET.com%3E
> Currently we have satisfactorily addressed this as per the legal-discuss thread.  We are open to any additional guidance from the IPMC regarding this issue in the future.
