zabetak opened a new issue, #693:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-xtable/issues/693

   ### Search before asking
   
   - [x] I had searched in the 
[issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-xtable/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and 
found no similar issues.
   
   
   ### Please describe the bug 🐞
   
   The META-INF/LICENSE in the following jars is incorrect:
   * xtable-aws-0.3.0-incubating.jar
   * xtable-hive-metastore-0.3.0-incubating.jar
   * xtable-hudi-support-extensions_2.12-0.3.0-incubating.jar
   
   I checked the content of the above jars (using jar tf ..) and I only see 
`org/apache/xtable` classes while the LICENSE has mentions to 3rd party code 
that is not present inside the jar (e.g., org.openjdk.jol:jol-core:0.16). If we 
don't package 3rd party code in the jar then we don't need to mention anything 
in the LICENSE.
   
   Moreover, the LICENSE file lists `org.openjdk.jol:jol-core:0.16` which is 
under a Category-X license (GNU General Public License v2.0 with classpath 
exception). Apache projects are not allowed to release binaries with 
[Category-X](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x) code. I 
didn't see jol code in the jars so I guess it's only the LICENSE file that must 
be updated.
