To make this clear, we need to have a brief review of Dubbo-Hessian-Lite’s history. Dubbo-Hessian-Lite was originally existed as a module of the core Dubbo project[1], the source code has been releasing with Dubbo since from 2.5.3 - 2.6.2, among all those versions, 2.6.2[2][3] were released after Dubbo joined the Apache Incubator. Start from 2.6.3, Hessian-Lite was extracted from the source repo and moved to a separate Dubbo Ecosystem[4], a separate group with most projects finally transferred to Apache (including Hessian-Lite’s transfer at about May 2019). While in the Dubbo Ecosystem, we released Hessian-Lite one or two times without going through the official Apache process. I believe this is the first release after transferred into Apache as a separate sub-project/artifact. To conclude, Hessian-Lite has gone through three phases: 1. Was released along with Apache Dubbo(Incubating) 2.6.2[3] 2. Was released in Dubbo Ecosystem as a separate third-part project. 2. Now transferred in Apache[5] and is going to be released as an separate artifact belong to Apache Dubbo. So I am not sure the NOTICE should be (considering 2.6.2): > Copyright 2018-2020 The Apache Software Foundation Or it should be (this is it’s first release after donated to Apache as a separate artifact): > Copyright 2020-2020 The Apache Software Foundation 1. https://github.com/apache/dubbo/tree/dubbo-2.6.2 2. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/701b3d436920eea3030f2a977eb1d3826774bc96e0b1d8b1d09a2ce8%40%3Cdev.dubbo.apache.org%3E 3. https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/dubbo/2.6.2/ 4. https://github.com/dubbo 5. https://github.com/apache/dubbo-hessian-lite Jun > On Mar 29, 2020, at 8:43 PM, Justin Mclean <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > >> Copyright 2018-2020 The Apache Software Foundation > > Why 2018?
