Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4144:
---------------------------------------------
The HTML in >= 1.7 has a copyright notice (which will be updated with 1.7.1)
and a mention that it's available under the AL2 license. It does not have the
"traditional license header" we are required to put in our source files, like
the one I just put in the 1.6.5 PDF under this ticket. I think it's
sufficient... at least until further guidance is provided. The rest of the
"traditional license header" really only applies to software/source files and
it's kinda confusing to see in documentation.

> Key: ACCUMULO-4144
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4144
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.6.5, 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.6.5
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> We publish the user manual PDF outside of our normal site (in the maven
> repo), but the generated PDF doesn't have any kind of copyright statement or
> a note about licensing.
> Since this is definitely published externally (and as a part of our release
> handling) it seems like it should have some indication. Even though it's a
> "binary format" strictly speaking, it's consumed as text by humans so we
> should give them some pointers.
> It seems like it should go on either the title page or a page immediately
> following it?
