LICENSE attributes `lib/erl/src/Makefile.am` to the MIT License. That file held otp-base build boilerplate and was removed by THRIFT-892 when the Erlang library moved to rebar, so the entry has been pointing at nothing the distribution ships — and the path it cites, `doc/otp-base-license.txt`, is wrong as well; the text lives under `doc/licenses/`. `debian/copyright` carries the same block naming `lib/erl/Makefile.am`. That file exists but has always carried the standard ASF header, so the MIT claim never applied to it. THRIFT-5196 asked which licence governs the Erlang makefile — the answer is Apache 2.0, and this pair is what made it ambiguous. No otp-base derived content remains anywhere in the tree, which leaves `doc/licenses/otp-base-license.txt` unreferenced; it goes with the two blocks. Say the word if you would rather keep the text file and I will restore it. Verified: `grep -rn otp-base` over the tree → no matches after the change. *This change was created with AI assistance.* -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
