Ok - after a bit of digging, here is what I found on the
apache-pirk-0.1.0-incubating-exe.jar issue with the phantom jboss-logging
license file.
The culprit is netty. If you take a look at META-INF/maven/io.netty/netty
when you unjar, you will see the netty pom which contains the following:
<!-- Logging frameworks - completely optional -->
......(dependencies for other logging frameworks).....
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-logging-spi</artifactId>
<version>2.1.2.GA</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
This is pulled in from Spark and other Hadoop places.
Reading the Apache Licensing info carefully, it appears that it is *not* a
licensing issue as the code does not distribute it and it is used only for
optional features. See http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#prohibited
and http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#optional.
Also, Spark deals with it in its NOTICE file as follows (
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/NOTICE):
This product optionally depends on 'JBoss Logging', a logging framework,
which can be obtained at:
* LICENSE:
* license/LICENSE.jboss-logging.txt (GNU LGPL 2.1)
* HOMEPAGE:
* http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/common/common-logging-spi/
Thus, it seems that we can stand on the Apache Licensing rules and follow
Spark's lead and include similar language in our NOTICE file.
Can we make the same argument about the org.openjdk.jmh.infra.generated.*
files in the apache-pirk-0.1.0-incubating-sources.jar? If so, we can make
them part of the RAT exclusions and that solve that issue.
>From there, cleaning up the LICENSE and NOTICE files as previously pointed
out in the thread should do it.
Thoughts?
