[GitHub] incubator-taverna-server pull request #5: Moved copyright notices to META-IN...
GitHub user stain opened a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-server/pull/5
Moved copyright notices to META-INF/LICENSE.*
On genera@incubator, [Justin commented](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/78aa01f01b377e0d1fae38706ab94c51380ee10fad89cd2ee5c8a5a0@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E) that we do not need to list the OGF license text within NOTICE.
We do however need to be careful not to imply that the full OGF Document license applies to our taverna-server-usagerecord Java files, as they are considered _"derivative work"_, which are _"without restriction of any kind, provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are included as references to the derived
portions on all such copies and derivative works"_
So the suggestion is to move out the license of the two PDF files from OGF to separate files under META-INF (even though those PDF files are not included in the distro) -- and then only refer to them from the upper LICENSE. The NOTICE can then go back to normal ASF-only.

[GitHub] incubator-taverna-server issue #5: Moved copyright notices to META-INF/LICEN...
Posted by stain <gi...@git.apache.org>.

@justinmclean suggest this PR is good solution [on legal-discuss](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/c789d855ad60a0fecec0681b600a2710549c2c2a8d162421b2728884@%3Clegal-discuss.apache.org%3E) so I'll merge this later unless someone screams :)
BTW - OGF confirmed https://twitter.com/OpenGridForum/status/950781770533875712 that the OGF license applies only to the PDF text itself - although of courrse in the published schemas like http://schemas.ogf.org/urf/2003/09/url that is not clear, as they refer to "This document" (or "The OGF Document") -- which when taken out of contexts could be misinterpreted to mean the XSD Schema Document..
So we're probably safest to still just stay with the explicit JAXB beans rather than including the .xsd in the source repository.
