As a new IPMC member, I'm taking a conservative approach to provide
feedback for the project team to consider.
Issues identified:
1. NOTICE file missing required third-party attributions for bundled components:
- mini-yaml (MIT License)
- Copyright(c) 2018 Jimmie Bergmann
- Location: cpp/thirdparty/mini-yaml/
- Used in: cpp/src/graphar/graph_info.cc and cpp/src/graphar/yaml.cc
- License file: licenses/LICENSE-mini-yaml.txt
- result (MIT License)
- Copyright (c) 2017-2021 Matthew Rodusek
- Location: cpp/thirdparty/result/result.hpp
- Used in: cpp/src/graphar/fwd.h
- License file: licenses/LICENSE-result.txt
- simple-uri-parser (MIT License)
- Copyright (c) 2021 Jonathan Hollocombe
- Location: cpp/thirdparty/simple-uri-parser/uri_parser.h
- Used in: cpp/src/graphar/filesystem.cc
- License file: licenses/LICENSE-simple-uri-parser
- cpplint (BSD-3-Clause)
- Copyright (C) 2009 Google Inc.
- Location: cpp/misc/cpplint.py
- Used as build tool in CMakeLists.txt and CI pipeline
- License file: licenses/LICENSE-cpplint.txt
While all components have their respective license files properly
included in the licenses/ directory, the MIT and BSD-3-Clause licenses
require copyright notices to be "included in all copies or substantial
portions of the Software." Apache policy
(https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice) implements this
requirement through the NOTICE file for bundled third-party
components.
2. CHANGELOG.md appears outdated - last entry is v0.11.4 from
2024-03-27, but this is version 0.13.0.
Items validated:
- [X] Download links are valid
- [X] Checksums and signatures verified
- [X] LICENSE/NOTICE files exist
- [X] No unexpected binary files found
- [X] All source files have ASF headers
- verified using Hawkeye: docker run --rm -v
"$(pwd)":/github/workspace ghcr.io/korandoru/hawkeye:v4 check
- [X] Can compile from source on Rocky Linux 9:
- C++ components: cd cpp && cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
- Spark components: cd maven-projects/spark && mvn clean compile -DskipTests
The project demonstrates good license discipline overall. These are
administrative fixes that should be straightforward to address.
