[jira] [Commented] (HAWQ-952) Clean up COPYRIGHT file and review NOTICE File

["Ed Espino (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-952?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15400325#comment-15400325 ] 

Ed Espino commented on HAWQ-952:
--------------------------------

*Regarding COPYRIGHT file*

*Concern:* This is a non-standard Apache software license file.  See Apache documentation relating to NOTICE, LICENSE, source headers.

*Comments:*
  * The file is derived from the third-party PostgreSQL COPYRIGHT file.  As expected, for an Apache release, it's contents have been incorporated into the LICENSE file.
* To honor "TREATMENT OF THIRD-PARTY WORKS" "Do not modify or remove any copyright notices or licenses within third-party works.", we need to consider leaving it intact and possibly referencing it in the LICENSE file to help avoid confusion?

> Per mentor's suggestion, we should not have a separate COPYRIGHT file
