[jira] Commented: (LEGAL-31) NOTICE/LICENSE and third party products

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-31?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12732390#action_12732390 ] 

Henri Yandell commented on LEGAL-31:
------------------------------------

My opinion - the LICENSE and NOTICE are for the ASF source code. A README should indicate the location of decoupled 3rd party products and their licensing files should be clearly located with the files.

I don't know of licenses that would require attribution in the main NOTICE, but I imagine it depends on how you interpret attribution clauses. Is a third party LICENSE file part of the product's documentation?

> Legal Affairs still doesn't have consensus about whether the LICENSE/NOTICE for an ASF release should contain links to (or include) LICENSEs/NOTICEs of 3rd party products included within the release. In any case the LICENSE for the 3rd party product has to be placed near the product or appended to the main LICENSE file and for some licenses attribution in the main NOTICE is madatory.
