[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-855?page=comments#action_12448051 ] David Crossley commented on FOR-855: ------------------------------------
Status: Part A is still to be done. Part B is done once, need to do again just prior to release. Because we let the release slip past the cut-off date of 1 November, we now need to fully meet the new policy. Main job is to organise the license files for supporting products and refer to them. > verify the license situation prior to each release > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FOR-855 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-855 > Project: Forrest > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Project administration > Reporter: David Crossley > Assigned To: David Crossley > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8-dev > > > This should be continually happening anyway, but immediately prior to each > release we need to verify that our license situation is in order. This issue > should not ever be closed, rather just move the "Fix for Version" on to the > next release. > Here are some of the tasks: > A) Ensure that all supporting libraries have a corresponding license. > Basically every jar file or other external package needs to have a > *.license.txt file. Ensure that any license conditions are met, e.g. for some > we must add an entry to NOTICE.txt, while for some others we must not. > Remember to abide by the ASF guidelines (e.g. nothing more restrictive than > the Apache License). > B) Scan the whole trunk repository to add missing ASF license headers to > source files and to ensure that the ASF license headers have not been > accidently added to external files.
