Sebb commented on FALCON-453:
-----------------------------
bq. Does this imply there is no need for Bootstrap and Glyphicons in Notice?
Depends on the license.
Are you *absolutely sure* that v3.0.2 is using the MIT license?
AFAICT the above link is for the current version, i.e. 3.1.1, and may not apply
to previous releases.
There is a file in the Falcon source release called bootstrap.js which contains
the following header:
{noformat}
/*!
* Bootstrap v3.0.2 by @fat and @mdo
* Copyright 2013 Twitter, Inc.
* Licensed under http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
*
* Designed and built with all the love in the world by @mdo and @fat.
*/
{noformat}
That does not appear to be MIT licensed.
Also, I downloaded the 3.0.2 source zip and the README.md file says the code is
licensed under ALv2.
The Falcon LICENSE.txt file does include the bootstrap version details (which
is good), but it looks like the wrong license details are present.

> What external code has been bundled with the source? To me it look like the
> NOTICE file may be referring to a binary release not the source release? For
> example it mentions antlr in the NOTICE file but I can't find any antlr code
> in the source release. As antlr is BSD does it even need to be in NOTICE
> file? It's may be that all source files have had their headers changed to
> ALv2?
> I also not the use of some fonts (from http://glyphicons.com?) and while they
> are included in the NOTICE but I'm not sure how they have been licensed. If
> it the free version and if so have the terms of the license met? [1]
> NOTICE file is incorrect; it must not have the following header:
> =========================================================================
> == NOTICE file corresponding to the section 4 d of ==
> == the Apache License, Version 2.0, ==
> == in this case for the Apache Falcon distribution. ==
> =========================================================================
> Also the NOTICE file must ONLY contain required notices for files that
> are actually in the enclosing distribution.
> As such, the entries headed "This product includes/uses" are wrong;
> only *included* bits are relevant when determining what must go in the
> NOTICE file.
> The LICENSE file should specify the versions of the included software,
> because licenses may change between versions.
> Again, only included code should be referenced.
