So you mean, we keep the standard disclaimer? Then we can discuss it when
we vote for rc2, if someone raises this issue again. WDYT?

So, the question remains how to look at the word "*bundle*".

We have some weird statements in the LICENSE file, excerpted one of them as
follows:











*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This
product includes code from Apache Hive.*
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.CombineHiveInputFormat copied to
org.apache.hudi.hadoop.hive.HoodieCombineHiveInputFormatCopyright:
2011-2019 The Apache Software FoundationHome page: http://hive.apache.org/
<http://hive.apache.org/>License:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
<http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Regarding "*This product includes code from *", I don't seem to see this
pattern from other projects.

So the question here is, even if we only publish the source code, is this
behavior considered as bundling other projects (because we do copy the
source code from other projects, the source code is obviously one of the
assets of other projects)? Unfortunately, I did not find a clear
clarification from the Apache official website. Obviously, there are two
possibilities here:


   - This is a kind of bundle, but we are not clear or there is a deviation
   in understanding;
   - This is not a bundle, but there is a misunderstanding during voting,
   and we have not clarified this;


In short, our LICENSE contains a relatively uncommon description "*This
product includes code from *". In this regard, the main problem here is the
information asymmetry between us and the IPMC. I don't think it makes much
sense to refer to other projects or interpret the official documents. A
more efficient way is to communicate directly with Justin and clarify.
Understand his thoughts and express our confusion.

What do you think?

Best,
Vino
