Not sure if the site dependency needs to be considered part of our software.
I recall having that discussion once i am going to dig archives

I think it's very clearly a yes. The legal page says code with the MIT license can be included in ASF projects.

However, I have a suggestion for the next release that will make this whole discussion moot: let's use the CDN instead of including the JQuery source code in source control. That way we're not hosting the JQuery files, and we don't have to worry about RAT reports, NOTICE files, or license info in the POM.

As for RC1, I don't see any reason it can't proceed. This isn't a regression—the JQuery files have been in source control for 14 months without incident or complaint.

This should be documented clearly in our build (in this case, in the POM).

Is the JQuery license compatible with ours?

If you read https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a as a "yes" then the files RAT complains about can be excluded from the report. If you read it as a "no", then we cannot include JQuery.

It reads like a "yes" to me.

The next question is: Do we need to add JQuery to our NOTICE file?

I agree with Nick.
Didn't we discuss this before, for the beta-9 release (and came to the same conclusion)?

We can't modify the license header of those files—that would be in violation of the license under which JQuery is made available. And ceasing to use JQuery would make the site not very good anymore.

Either way, since this is JS for the site and not source code for Log4j, and since those files have been there for a very long time, I certainly don't think it should hold up this release.

RAT complains:

Unapproved licenses:

src/site/resources/js/jquery.js

I'm not sure what our policy is for this kind of issue.
