The goal is always to improve. The KIE codebase is extensive, and although we all strive to verify everything carefully, there are likely still blind spots. Thank you for bringing this specific concern to our attention, and we will certainly take steps to address it.
Regarding the Chrome Extension, the full source code is available here (and is also included in the .zip file): https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-tools/tree/main/packages/chrome-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors You will notice that all source files contain the appropriate Apache headers. The file background.js is the compiled output of this TypeScript file: https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-tools/blob/main/packages/chrome-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors/src/background.ts Since the TypeScript compiler generates it, all comments, including license headers, are removed. Because of that, we treat background.js as a compiled artifact, similar to a binary. To address this more broadly, I have created the following issue to review all .zip artifacts for LICENSE, NOTICE, and DISCLAIMER files: https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-issues/issues/2020 One detail we will need to verify is whether Chrome Extensions allow these files to be included in the package; we will confirm this as part of the review. Thanks again for the helpful feedback. - Alex On Wed, Jul 2, 2025 at 9:53 AM PJ Fanning <fannin...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Alex, > Would it be possible to see some progress in future RCs on getting the > non-source artifacts in the RC to have LICENSE, NOTICE and DISCLAIMER > files - and ones that are appropriate for each artifact? > I looked at > apache-kie-10.1.0-incubating-business-automation-chrome-extension.zip > and it doesn't have a valid Apache LICENSE or NOTICE.
