------------------------------------------------------------
Also in this ticket, we are going to fix the following license issues:
1. Doxyfile
(https://github.com/apache/incubator-singa/blob/master/doc/Doxyfile) can not
have comments and must have Apache license header. See
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
> Can we use Doxygen-generated config files?
> As long as the generated comments are removed from the Doxygen-generated
> files, these files may be used.
And see for example:
https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/c%2B%2B/Doxyfile
2. The Tinydir license can be safely removed from SINGA, because it is already
included in tinydir.h
(https://github.com/apache/incubator-singa/blob/master/include/singa/utils/tinydir.h)
.
See https://github.com/cxong/tinydir :
> if you use tinydir you can comply by including tinydir.h
3. The LICENSE file says "SINGA bundles the following under BSD 3-clause
license: cmake/Profobuf.cmake"
However, I could not find this file in SINGA. And CMake is not bundled with the
project, so the CMake license can be removed.

> Key: SINGA-273
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SINGA-273
> Project: Singa
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Moaz Reyad
> Priority: Minor
>
> The project needs a CONTRIBUTIONS.md file. (see
> https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines).
> Also the third party licenses are mixed with the project license and this
> makes the project license unclear. We may separate the third party license in
> the /thirdparty folder and keep the Apache 2.0 license in the project root
> folder.
> Finally, a license badge can be added to the README.md.
