I think Rat is wrong on the jquery license.

They have included a header, but its not identified by rat.
MIT is a clear "yes" for me. We have several other portions of MIT code inside AL code (i.e. commons compress if i recall correctly).

If we want to put it into the NOTICE file we need to make sure to add bootstrap.min.js
and prettify.min.js as well (both AL 2.0)

I would not use a CDN because people might download it for a reason - maybe they
have no real connection where they want to work with it.

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)?

I'm not sure what our policy is, either, but there's nothing we can do about it. 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.
