Scanning the diff I noticed a js file copyright netflix but under the
asf license. Does that need an entry in the notice file?

Looking further is appears to have been independently developed
outside
of Apache and licensed under a license (see License.txt in
http://github.com/tim/erlang-oauth/tree/master) similar to other
components, however there is not the required notice.
I have added the notice now:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/trunk/NOTICE?r1=801058&r2=801057
This really seems like it should have been cleared by the Incubator
PMC
before being accepted into the project.
The license is an MIT license:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
Which is a Category A license:
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html
Which means we don't have to clear it explicitly.
Also, we're a TLP now! Hehe.
At least it should have been disclosed in the submission that this
wasn't a
contribution by the original author.
Damien should have updated NOTICE, but it's not a big deal.
Until this is vetted, I'd encourage reverting r800938.
The problem is fixed now.
Thanks,
