John D. Ament commented on EDGENT-418:
--------------------------------------
The LICENSE and NOTICE contain information relevant to this package. If a JAR
has transitive dependencies, those shouldn't be included. However, if you have
an uber jar then that should include all relevant notices/licenses.
Likewise, since a WAR contains other packages, its NOTICE/LICENSE should
represent all of its contents.
> Think LICENSE/NOTICE in binary release .jar & .war are wrong

> Key: EDGENT-418
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EDGENT-418
> Project: Edgent
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Miscellaneous
> Reporter: Dale LaBossiere
> Priority: Critical
>
> An email thread on LICENSE/NOTICE in a .war on general@incubator got me
> thinking/checking re Edgent.
> The Edgent binary release bundle (.tgz) has a custom/appropriate LICENSE and
> NOTICE file.
> The Edgent binary release .jar/.war artifacts only have pretty much stock
> LICENSE & NOTICE files in them. That seems incorrect. (it's not clear to me
> if we can just use the same binary-bundle's LICENSE/NOTICE in each .jar/.war
> or if each one has to have customization for that particular artifact. I
> hope it's the former (common ones for all binary artifacts).
> Today these artifacts are only released as part of the binary-bundle so at
> least it has the correct info at the top level. But in the hopefully near
> future we will also be publishing on maven-central and then it seems even
> more important to get .jar/.war contents correct.
