> 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:

> 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.

> According to the project website, Bouncy Castle License is the same as 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?
