SPARK-1827. LICENSE and NOTICE files need a refresh to contain transitive
dependency info
LICENSE and NOTICE policy is explained here:
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html
This leads to the following changes.
First, this change enables two extensions to maven-shade-plugin in
assembly/ that will try to include and merge all NOTICE and LICENSE files. This
can't hurt.
This generates a consolidated NOTICE file that I manually added to NOTICE.
Next, a list of all dependencies and their licenses was generated:
`mvn ... license:aggregate-add-third-party`
to create: `target/generated-sources/license/THIRD-PARTY.txt`
Each dependency is listed with one or more licenses. Determine the
most-compatible license for each if there is more than one.
For "unknown" license dependencies, I manually evaluateD their license.
Many are actually Apache projects or components of projects covered already.
The only non-trivial one was Colt, which has its own (compatible) license.
I ignored Apache-licensed and public domain dependencies as these require
no further action (beyond NOTICE above).
BSD and MIT licenses (permissive Category A licenses) are evidently
supposed to be mentioned in LICENSE, so I added a section without output from
the THIRD-PARTY.txt file appropriately.
Everything else, Category B licenses, are evidently mentioned in NOTICE (?)
Same there.
LICENSE contained some license statements for source code that is
redistributed. I left this as I think that is the right place to put it.
