The Release Process document at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Release+Process currently states that a file named DISCLAIMER is a required artifact in the release package. The contents of this file are: === Apache Metron is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. === This clearly seems to be left over from our incubation days. I propose to entirely remove the DISCLAIMER file, from the source tree and from the Release Process document.
The usual disclaimers remain in the LICENSE file, of course. Any objections? Thanks, --Matt
