Hi Andy, and other mentors, while trying to figure out what should go into the NOTICE file and what not, we realised that the Apache license says that derivative works need to contain a copy of the NOTICE of included project. So in case of our binary releases that include the Sesame libraries, this would mean we need to include the contents of the following file:
https://bitbucket.org/openrdf/sesame/src/master/core/NOTICE.txt What we are not sure about is whether it would be ok to only mention Sesame as we do now, or whether we need to include all the NOTICE content of the dependency. What is your opinion on this? For reference, the Apache license says: 4d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as modifying the License. 2013/3/25 Andy Seaborne <a...@apache.org> > On 25/03/13 12:03, Sebastian Schaffert wrote: > >> restart >> the release candidate >> > > Sebastian, > > As Release Manager, could you send a [CANCELLED] message on this thread so > that when looking back, the list archive makes it clear as to status? > > Andy >
