Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-1728:
---------------------------------

I'm updating the patch to the latest version. Here's a summary of the significant changes:

* Fixed the Javadoc jar for avro-tools. Previously, it included the entries for all of the shaded dependencies, which isn't necessary.
* The NOTICE for the shaded avro-tools jar now contains, verbatim, the NOTICE content from dependencies that are shaded so that the dependency copyright notices are intact.
* Updated how Odiago's contribution to mapred is documented. Because the content was contributed to the project, not licensed as a third-party work, the project's Apache license applies and the contribution should not be listed separately (no other contribution to the project is). However, because of the confusion I've included a clear description of the contribution history and relevant NOTICE content to the NOTICE file.

I also checked to make sure the other jar license and notice files are correct. The compiler, mapred, and tools modules have extra information. For compiler and mapred, this applies to the compiled jar, source jar and javadoc jar because the information applies to the source content (it is also in the root license and notice). For the tools module, the javadoc jar has its own license and notice because it is derived from the source without shading and should not include the shaded dependency information. The compiled jar and source jar have the license and notice that includes information about shaded dependencies. This only applies to the content of the compiled jar, but I don't see a way to exclude it from the source jar. The information is clearly marked where it applies to the binary jar and states "license for X, included in the binary artifact". I think that is clear and unambiguous.
