Andrei Savu commented on WHIRR-442:
-----------------------------------

+1 I had to add <exclude>**/*.iml</exclude> (IDEA project file) to pom.xml (RAT config). Later on we should also update the How to Release / How to Contribute wiki pages to mention -Pvoldemort.

> Release 0.6.0 is including the Voldemort jar w/o the required notices as specified by section 4d of the ASL2.0
> https://github.com/voldemort/voldemort/blob/master/LICENSE
> Additionally Voldemort requires a "category X" licensed work which is not allowed by Apache rules, specifically Voldemort uses "BDB java edition" which is category X. See previous discussions on this:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-99
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-113
> http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
> The following has to happen before 0.7.0:
> 1) remove all jars from the source release artifact.
> ./services/voldemort/lib/linkedin-voldemort-0.90.RC3.jar
> I also notice:
> ./services/hadoop/lib/hadoop-test-0.20.3-SNAPSHOT.jar
> ./services/cassandra/lib/apache-cassandra-0.7.0.jar
> ./services/cassandra/lib/libthrift-0.5.jar
> 2) do not compile or include dependencies of Voldemort as part of any Whirr release, whether source or binary. I do not think that the Voldemort whirr service itself need be dropped.
