----------------------------------------

             Summary: Add Bouncy Castle License
                 Key: HADOOP-15874
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15874
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang


Compiling HBase against Hadoop trunk tells me Bouncy Castle license is used.

This product includes Bouncy Castle PKIX, CMS, EAC, TSP, PKCS, OCSP, CMP, and CRMF APIs licensed under the Bouncy Castle Licence.

ERROR: Please check ^^^^^^^^^^^^ this License for acceptability here:

https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved

If it is okay, then update the list named 'non_aggregate_fine' in the LICENSE.vm file.
If it isn't okay, then revert the change that added the dependency.

More info on the dependency:

According to the project website, Bouncy Castle License is the same as MIT license.

Please note this should be read in the same way as the MIT license.

Shall we seek Apache Software Foundation's legal advice? Per ASF legal, Bouncy Castle is not listed as an includable license: https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved#category-a

Not sure why it only surfaced in Hadoop trunk (aka branch 3.3) since Bouncy Castle was included long time ago. Maybe a recent change made by [~rkanter] in YARN-8857 updated the version and changed the license?
