The general guideline is provided by Apache (1, 2 and 3), but I agree
that at minimum we should include link to the Apache license FAQ into
the contribution guidelines.
1. https://www.apache.org/legal/
2. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
3. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL
Thank you,

It will be good to mention in the guidelines, known compatible licenses and
incompatible ones. Additional guidelines on what are the general
characteristics of a compatible license e.g., free to use, no restriction
of making code open etc.. because there may be depdencies that don't use
well known licenses but still fit the bill of a compatible license.
Thanks

+1 in general more attention to licensing is needed and we may need to
update the contributor guidelines also.
Can you create a JIRA with fix version set to 3.8.0 ?

There are few samples and the benchmark application in Malhar that depend
on libraries licensed under Category X. All such dependencies need to be
either optional, be replaced with libraries that are compatible with
Apache
license or be removed. Any newly introduced dependency should be either
compatible with the Apache license or be optional.
