--------------------------------------
Summary: Update licenses of bundled libraries
Key: NUTCH-2290
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2290
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: Bug
Components: deployment
Affects Versions: 1.12, 2.3.1
Reporter: Sebastian Nagel
Fix For: 2.4, 1.13
The files LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt were last edited 5 years ago and should be
updated to include all licenses of dependencies (and their dependencies) in
accordance to [Assembling LICENSE and NOTICE
HOWTO|http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html]:
# check for missing or obsolete licenses due to added or removed dependencies
# update year in NOTICE.txt -- should be a range according to the licensing
HOWTO
# bundled libraries are referenced with path and version number, e.g
{{lib/icu4j-4_0_1.jar}}. This would require to update the LICENSE.txt with
every dependency upgrade. A more generic reference ("ICU4J") would be easier to
maintain but the HOWTO requires to "specify the version of the dependency as
licenses are sometimes changed".
# try to reduce the size of LICENSE.txt (currently 5800 lines). Mainly,
according to the HOWTO there is no need to repeat the Apache license again and
again.
