Since we started using LLM-based tools for release reviews, we can find and fix LICENSE issues much faster and more systematically than before. While checking RC3 that way, I found a few more places that can be improved. None of them needs a new RC, so I suggest they go into the next release: - Document contrib/pgcrypto/crypt-md5.c (imported from FreeBSD, with the original beer-ware notice) in LICENSE: https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/pull/2161 - List the Bison-generated orafce parser in LICENSE, per LEGAL-291: https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/pull/2162 - Remove a Windows-only setlocale() fallback in PL/Perl that was copied from Perl's POSIX.xs; it is never compiled on Linux or macOS: https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/pull/2158 All of these were inherited from PostgreSQL/Greenplum and have shipped in every earlier release. Getting LICENSE and NOTICE right for a codebase with this much history (PostgreSQL, Greenplum and a number of bundled components) is an incremental process, and I don't think we should expect to finish it in one release. Each round has made the release noticeably cleaner, and we will keep improving it in the next releases.
