If I recall correctly, we made one blanket NOTICE and made sure it was
in the things that we distribute. Some possibly useful historical
emails for us on this topic:

and

Ate was the champion for the Apache Rave project, which you could also
look at as a model.

Thank you - there are just too many projects to look at!
Jena does this manually, which I've already gotten into trouble because of.. :-)
I had a look at Airavata.
Are these files all made by hand?
stain@biggie-utopic:~/src/airavata$ find . -name 'NOTICE*'
./airavata-api/airavata-client-sdks/airavata-cpp-sdk/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./airavata-api/airavata-client-sdks/airavata-php-sdk/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/orchestrator-server/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/xbaya-gui/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/xbaya-gui/src/main/resources/jnlp/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/api-server/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/gfac-server/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/client/java/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/server/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./NOTICE
For example
https://github.com/apache/airavata/blob/master/modules/distribution/gfac-server/src/main/resources/NOTICE
looks pretty auto-generated to me. But perhaps it's just because it's
the same file mostly just copied around?
stain@biggie-utopic:~/src/airavata$ find . -name 'NOTICE*' | xargs wc -l
163
./airavata-api/airavata-client-sdks/airavata-cpp-sdk/src/main/resources/NOTICE
4
./airavata-api/airavata-client-sdks/airavata-php-sdk/src/main/resources/NOTICE
163 ./modules/distribution/orchestrator-server/src/main/resources/NOTICE
162 ./modules/distribution/xbaya-gui/src/main/resources/NOTICE
162 ./modules/distribution/xbaya-gui/src/main/resources/jnlp/NOTICE
163 ./modules/distribution/api-server/src/main/resources/NOTICE

163 ./modules/distribution/client/java/src/main/resources/NOTICE
163 ./modules/distribution/server/src/main/resources/NOTICE
6 ./NOTICE
That +/- 1 there is because:
stain@biggie-utopic:~/src/airavata$ diff
./modules/distribution/xbaya-gui/src/main/resources/NOTICE
./modules/distribution/orchestrator-server/src/main/resources/NOTICE

As always, you can steal from other projects. Did you look at Airavata?
One of our mentors held our feet to the fire over this, so hopefully it will
serve as a good model for you.

Not sure what is the best Maven way to do NOTICE file management when
we have many modules and are going to release JARs in Maven Central. I
would prefer not having to do too much copy and pasting..
As the taverna-scufl2-schemas JAR in this case contains the actual XSD
as well, I've added:
https://github.com/taverna-incubator/incubator-taverna-language/blob/master/taverna-scufl2-schemas/src/main/resources/META-INF/NOTICE.vm
(Inspired by
http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/apache-jar-resource-bundle/1.4/)
which then is completed as a velocity template (to get the correct
project name and year), and generates this META-INF/NOTICE file in the
compiled taverna-scufl2-schemas-0.16.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar :
Apache Taverna Scufl 2 Schemas
Copyright 2015 The Apache Software Foundation

# xml.xsd

.. but - the template META-INF/NOTICE.vm is also included in the JAR!
confusing.. but.. not "wrong" legally (it even has an Apache header to
keep RAT happy!).
Perhaps the Velocity template is taking this too far. If I add this
directly as META-INF/NOTICE it is included only once - but of course
"2015" will/may be out of date next year - but that's 10 greps a year
then. Is that really a problem?
Another question - how are NOTICE files from sub-modules meant to be
aggregated/combined in the source release of the taverna-language
project
(and in the command line/workbench binary releases that will include this
JAR):
I tried building taverna-language now with the above, using:
mvn clean install -DskipTests=true -Drat.skip=true -Papache-release
and in
target/taverna-language-0.16.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT-source-release.zip
I get an autogenerated NOTICE file that just says:
Apache Taverna Language APIs (Scufl2, Databundle)
Copyright 2015 The Apache Software Foundation
This product includes software developed at
The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).
To find that W3C notice you have to hunt around:
stain@biggie-utopic:~/src/taverna-incubator/incubator-taverna-language/target/taverna-language-0.16.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT$
find . -name '*NOTICE*'
./NOTICE
./taverna-scufl2-schemas/src/main/resources/META-INF/NOTICE.vm
Somehow I feel the mentors would not see this as job done..
Would anyone have time to check around if there is some help from
Maven plugins here (see other multi-module Apache projects), or if we
are just going to have to do a copy-paste job and hope we don't get it
wrong?

I have added license headers to all files in taverna-scufl2-schemas -
all but one were ours.
I guess we would get rid of the duplicates and use Maven dependencies..
W3C licensing (e.g. xml.xsd) will require a NOTICE mention, probably
also into LICENSE?

Hello everybody,
I have put the licenses on the xsd files that are definitely
