Andrew Wang commented on HADOOP-12893:
--------------------------------------
Thanks [~busbey]. I sent out a mail to common-dev, we'll see about what comes
back. Do you have references for these statements? I believe you, but I would
like a comprehensive guide for what's required. Else we're liable to still get
it wrong.
In the meanwhile, some review comments based on the Apache page on this:
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html
* [No need to list ALv2
dependencies](http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#alv2-dep) in
LICENSE
* We're missing version numbers. [Licenses can change in later
releases.](http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps)
* IIUC we [don't need to list the copyrights for BSD and MIT licensed deps in
NOTICE](http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice). I'm not
100% sure how this applies to included JARs, but the understanding for source
files is that you just leave their copyright headers and it's okay. Included
JARs should also have their LICENSE/NOTICE in their own META-INF dirs, which
would also satisfy the copyright requirement.
* I'd also be in favor of checking the source data and scripts into the repo,
to make this easier in the future. Ideally all these files are auto-generated.
