You may wish to note that in LICENSE [1]  But content will only go in NOTICE if 
it has it has it’s own NOTICE file. [1]

> Furthermore, Takari contains no copyright. Is this of concern?

It may not contain a copyright statement but copyright exist all the same and 
that owner isn’t going to be the ASF. You could always ask them to add one as 
the appendix of the ASF licens      e asks to do [2] Note that that header 
contains a copyright statement unlike the one use for code developed at the ASF.

A -1 on a release is not a veto. A release can still pass if it gets 3 +1 
votes. However in this case because of the jar in a source release it’s 
unlikely IMO to get 3 +1 IPMC votes.

If the issue are minor I do that, see the Doris votes from today (and countless 
other examples) but there are a few things like compiled code in a release or 
category X licensed content in a release that I’ve always voted -1 on in the 
300 or so releases I’ve voted on.

The incubator has no remit over TLPs, their PMCs should know enough to catch 
these sort of issues and fix them themselves. Where issues have been noticed 
and are causing podlings confusion the IPMC has asked for them to be fixed, but 
all we can do is ask.

> This would add some burden to the Incubator.

I doubt the board will allow the incubator to do this, if you see an issue at a 
TLP you can alway ask them to fix it al well.

Thanks,
Justin
