The NOTICE file is still incorrect and includes a lot of unnecessary stuff. Understanding how to do releases with the correct legal files is one of the important parts of incubation and as this is the first release for the poddling i think this needs to be sorted out. For the NOTICE file, start with the following text (between the ---'s): --- Apache ManifestCF Copyright 2010 The Apache Software Foundation This product includes software developed by The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). --- and then add _nothing_ unless you can find explicit policy documented somewhere in the ASF that says it is required. If someone wants to add something ask for the URL where the requirement is documented. The NOTICE file should only include required notices, the other text thats in the current NOTICE file could go in a README file, see http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice For the LICENSE file, it should start with the AL as the current one does, and then include the text for all the other licenses used in the distribution. Those license that are currently in the NOTICE file should be moved to the LICENSE file and then you need to verify that all the 3rd party dependencies in the src and binary distributions are also in the LICENSE files of those distributions. ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
