[jira] [Commented] (TAVERNA-985) Remove CrossProduct.java BSD license from NOTICE

["Justin Mclean (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAVERNA-985?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15339633#comment-15339633 ] 

Justin Mclean commented on TAVERNA-985:
---------------------------------------

No as per [1] it needs to go in LICENSE not NOTICE. It best to add a pointer in LICENSE to a local copy of the full BSD license, that way all BSD legal obligations are covered. (IMO and AFAIK but INAL and there are probably several ways to comply with both BSD legal obligations and ASF policy.)

> taverna-execution-hadoop/src/main/java/org/pingel/util/CrossProduct.java has a BSD-3 license, however as raised in https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/743a5e32e7074a41b3227c9842ed734a9db42cfde86b15da2a63d8c0@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E it is not required to propagate that license in our top-level NOTICE.

> 2. http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#required-third-party-notices
> 3. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice
> Instead we'll just add a reference to it from the end of our LICENSE.
> For the binary distribution we need to propagate it somehow, so I suggest we let taverna-execution-hadoop/src/main/resources/META-INF/NOTICE stay with the full copyright and BSD-3 license.
