Daniel John Debrunner commented on QUARKS-133:
----------------------------------------------
Thinking about the mechanics, I wonder if there should be a top-level folder
that contains:
* a copy of the Apache Licence v 2 with a name that is not LICENCE (to make it
clear it's not the licence that applies to the whole work)
* a copy of the existing notice file, again with a name that is not NOTICE
* a copy of the existing notice file without the IBM copyrights, again with a
name that is not NOTICE
Then common-build would modified to copy these files into the appropriate jars,
defaulting to the plain ASF notice, but individual files could override the
notice with the "IBM" one.
> Ensure correct LICENCE and NOTICE are in Quarks jar files

> Project: Quarks
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner

> Currently the top-level LICENSE and NOTICE files are copied into each Quarks
> file.
> Currently that is the correct behaviour, however as the LICENSE and NOTICE
> files are changed to represent the contents of the entire source tree that
> will no longer be correct.
> From the guiding principle [1] "The LICENSE and NOTICE files must exactly
> represent the contents of the distribution they reside in".
> Any jar created by the build (e.g. target/java8/lib/quarks.api.optlet.jar) is
> itself a distribution, so its LICENSE & NOTICE must exactly represent its
> contents. As [2] says: "As far as LICENSE and NOTICE are concerned, only
> bundled bits matter."
> So, any(*) Java jar currently produced only includes Quarks class files,
> dependent jars are not bundled in the Quarks jar, so their LICENCE is ALV2.
> For the NOTICE file there are two choices:
> 1) The current NOTICE file containing IBM copyrights and Apache Quarks info
> but no third-party dependency. Jars that contain any (IBM) code that existed
> at the time the repo was first populated at the ASF.
> 2) A NOTICE file containing Apache Quarks info but no third-party
> dependency. This would be for jars that only contain code created since the
> project repo was at the ASF (which most likely means jars created since then).
> * I believe it is all Quarks jar, but it will need to verified as thw work
> proceeds.
