Sebb created DIRSERVER-2099:
-------------------------------
Summary: NOTICE and LICENSE files for DS 2.0.0-M20 are incorrect
Key: DIRSERVER-2099
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-2099
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sebb
NOTICE files are for *required* notices only; they must not contain anything
that is not required.
LICENSE files must contain the text of all applicable licences, or pointers to
the license (which must be included in the distribution).
See the process described here [1]
I think that there are problems with both of these files.
The NOTICE file contains a lot of extraneous text.
The block enclosed in === should be removed entirely, as well as the following
paragraph, which is an unnecessary duplicate.
AFAICT the references to SafeHaus JUG and Clinton Begin don't need to be in the
NOTICE file either.
The LICENSE file says that JUG is licensed under AL v2.
However it does not say which version of JUG is included.
Similarly for the other 3rd party licences.
The NOTICE file mentions software by Clinton Begin, but there is no
corresponding mention in the LICENSE file.
All bundled software must be documented in the LICENSE file.
Entries in the NOTICE file must only be made if required.
