Hi Justin,
Actually to avoid embedding several libs with incompatible licenses we use Gradle to build OFBiz since few years now. So the libs are not embedded but
loaded at "runtime" by Gradle (Gradle uses a local cache).
So I think we should remove this notice (and those alike) in our LICENSE file. Or possibly replace "bundles" by another word to keep this information,
but I don't see a need for that.

HI,
I'm not on your PMC but I noticed something a little odd with this release .
Your LICENSE states:
This product bundles files from the "Birt" technology platform
(www.eclipse.org/birt/)
which are available under the "Eclipse Public License - v 1.0".
For details, see plugins/birt/webapp/birt/webcontent/birt/
However the EPL license is Category B and can't be included in a source
release. [1]
There's probably a good reason for this that I'm unaware of, and I've not
looked at this in detail. I just notice something odd, and I thought it best to
tell you. I'll leave it up to you if you want to do anything about it.
Kind Regards,
Justin
