[jira] Created: (HARMONY-6155) NOTICE file does not have required contents

NOTICE file does not have required contents
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: HARMONY-6155
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6155
             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Website/Documentation
    Affects Versions: 5.0M9
            Reporter: Sebb


The NOTICE file does not have the contents as per:

http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice

The first 6 lines of the NOTICE should be replaced with the Apache product name and Copyright year(s).

I'm not entirely sure what should be done with the COPYRIGHT and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt files, but their contents should probably be moved into the NOTICE or LICENSE files as appropriate.

---------------------------------------

Sebb, Sorry, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out what must go in the NOTICE file.  You say "not Apache Yoko" but I notice (no pun intended) that the Geronimo NOTICE file does contain a mention of Apache Yoko.  (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/trunk/NOTICE.txt).  I started looking at examples to try to help clarify the policy in my own mind, but the more I look at the more confused I am becoming.

-------------------------------

I'm afraid the Geronimo NOTICE file is a very poor example; looks like it has been auto-generated.

For a better description, see:

http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#notice-content
and
http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice
http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-examplenotice

The NOTICE file is for REQUIRED notices, and should be as short as possible (but no shorter!)

That leaves plenty open to interpretation, and I'm genuinely not trying
to be awkward...

Then we have a different definition of a required attribution.

Look at the httpd LICENSE ([2] above), scroll to the bottom and you'll
see a license "For the expat parser component".

It says,
"<blah, blah>

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

<blah, blah>"

Now look at the httpd NOTICE file ([1] above).  See anything there
related to this?

Then either the policy needs clarifying or a number of projects need
bringing in-line with it.  From what I understand, the NOTICE includes
notices that were in our source code.

Tim

http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice

"2. The remainder of the NOTICE file is to be used for required 
third-party notices."

Exactly, the NOTICE file contains the attributions, the LICENSE file 
contains the licenses.

As far as I can tell, at least some of the Hrmony licenses require 
attribution.

What are the criteria you are applying to determine which third-party
items are put in the NOTICE file rather than the LICENSE file?

If you take a look at the (canonical) example of httpd's NOTICE [1] and
LICENSE [2] you can see similar distinctions.

[1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/NOTICE?view=co
[2] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/LICENSE?view=co

> [BTW, do you still use both versions of ICU4C?]

No.  Why do you ask?  Are you confusing the ICU4C and ICU4J entries?

I think there are still some tweaks to be made.

There seem to be some items missing from the NOTICE file - I would expect this to mention most, if not all, of the 3rd party items.
For example:

ICU4C 
Copyright (c) 1995-2005 International Business Machines Corporation and others
All rights reserved.

[BTW, do you still use both versions of ICU4C?]

ZLIB version 1.2.3
 (C) 1995-2004 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler

etc. 

But not Apache Yoko, and probably not necessary for the IETF RFCs

> The NOTICE file does not have the contents as per:
> http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice
> The first 6 lines of the NOTICE should be replaced with the Apache product name and Copyright year(s).
> I'm not entirely sure what should be done with the COPYRIGHT and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt files, but their contents should probably be moved into the NOTICE or LICENSE files as appropriate.
