Licenses and Notices
> verify the license situation prior to each release
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FOR-855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-855
> Project: Forrest
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Licenses and Notices
> Affects Versions: 0.9, 0.10-dev
> Reporter: David Crossley
> Assignee: David Crossley
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.10-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. See etc/relicense.txt
> C) Remove any author tags.
