Yes, there is general consternation about this, especially on the incubator list. Here is one resource <http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html>. Note that [Required] Notices appear in NOTICE, not licenses. There are other places where this is being worked on. I don't have links handy. Here's an example that could be simplified by moving the detailed Copyright Notices (essentially licenses) to LICENSE.txt and simplifying the NOTICE file: <https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/big-data-discovery-cloud/BDDLG/cl_apache_commons_math_1_2.htm>. I am not a good source of advice about this. The go-to person on this topic appears to be Justin Mclean who can be found on legal-discuss@ and general-incubator@ on these matters. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
