Sachin,
At a minimum, you need to add:

OpenEJB, MX4J, and XStream to the root LICENSE file

Which root license file I you referring to? Do I just append each license to this?

By root, I meant the notice and license files in g-eclipse-plugin-1-1/META-INF/. I actually don't think that they should be in the META-INF dir. I think you should end up with the following when you unzip:

geronimo-eclipse-plugin-1-1/LICENSE
geronimo-eclipse-plugin-1-1/NOTICE   (both license and notice should either be .txt or have no suffix)
geronimo-eclipse-plugin-1-1/plugins/...
geronimo-eclipse-plugin-1-1/features/...

The additional license and notice information should be appended to the ASL license and notice info. see geronimo/branches/modules/scripts/src/resources/LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt (you can just steal the appropriate sections from these files).

Looks like some of the jar files are still missing LICENSE and NOTICE files. org.apache.geronimo.v11.deployment.model.edit_1.0.0.jar, for instance.

MX4J, and XMLBeans to the root NOTICE file

Again which root?


Did you investigate Hessian licensing?

Yeah its under Apache 1.0 I think, but could not find a copy of it on their site.

I didn't find any licensing info (at first). So, took a look at the source. The first source file I looked at contained the following:

I now see the following statement on their wiki:

"Caucho Technology has released this Hessian implementation under an open source license (the Apache license). Anyone may freely download, use, and redistribute the Hessian implementation."

But that's the strongest source of licensing info, that I've found...

Sachin,
I'm afraid I don't see either a NOTICE or LICENSE files in the plugin zip file, itself, nor any of the embedded jar files. They all must contain both LICENSE and NOTICE files. Afraid this is a <hard> requirement. And you'll need to create new binaries... See http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what-must-every-release-contain for more information.

We should be able to reuse some of the license information we generated for G 1.1. I'm happy to help with that. I'm not sure how we're putting the NOTICE and LICENSE info in each of the jar files. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out, but perhaps someone can chime in...
