Antonio Petrelli commented on WW-2437:
--------------------------------------
James,
Point 4.d. of the Apache License:
<snip>
If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any
Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the
attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices
that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the
following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the
Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if provided along
with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative
Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and do not modify the
License. You may add Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that
You distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work,
provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as
modifying the License.
</snip>
So we need to add a line in the NOTICE file for each non-Apache and ASL 2.0
licensed 3rd party software distributed in binary form.
For other licenses, like the BSD, we need to add a line in the NOTICE file
*and* the license itself for each redistributed file in binary form.
> Binary distributions lack of completeness in third party attributions
