Hi all, We had some issues with the license files in the last few RC on 3.4.
To make things easier in the future, I was looking at the maven license plugin. But I'm not sure about are legal obligations. If I understand correctly, if we give an aggregated license file that contains all our third party dependencies that lists their license type and a link to their site, it is sufficient? I just tried the add-third-party goal: http://www.mojohaus.org/license-maven-plugin/add-third-party-mojo.html And it generates an aggregated LICENSE file, I will dump the content at the end fo this e-mail. Would this work for ZooKeeper? And if so, do you agree we should move to a single aggregated LICENSE file? Thanks, Norbert LICENSE.txt content (I know not all if this dependency is distributed, ike spotbugs-annotations, I would exclude those in the final solution): Lists of 51 third-party dependencies.
