Where is it used? It was not mentioned in the LICENSE file but only in the
NOTICE file (so it could be available under the ALv2)... however I can't
see where it is bundled.

I think we are good then, I also can't find anything.

Thanks, I have corrected one line containing an unnecessary * in rev.
1762049.

I have tried to use the star consistently by following this rule:
if the dependency is made by a series of files within a folder, provide the
path to the folder without *
I have used the * in one occasion to designate a pattern to match a few
files.

I hope it will go away with the "oagis" component; we have to include it
because it is not a standard license and because the license changed after
we bundled the files. I pain that I hope we eill remove by attic-ing the
component.

Sounds globally good to me

Maybe?
framework/resources/fonts/NotoSans/*
framework/images/webapp/images/date/timezones/*
framework/images/webapp/images/jquery/*
framework/images/webapp/images/icons/*
specialpurpose/cmssite/template/docbook/webhelp/*
specialpurpose/cmssite/template/docbook/*
specialpurpose/oagis/dtd/*

To have things consistent (or remove the start elsewhere)

Also why do we keep only the "Open Applications Group" license text?

I have no ideas when CoolTips was used/removed, I trust it must be removed

I did also a first pass of editing to the old OPTIONAL_LIBRARIES file.
However I suggest to remove it and possibly move some of its content to our
Wiki (volunteers?) if you think that some of the information in it is still
relevant or useful.

I agree, and I am currently working at the simplification of the LICENSE
file, which I should be able to commit, for community's review, hopefully
today.
In the process, I am also reviewing the other directions in the same
document and make sure they are implemented when applicable.

The NOTICE file should be treated similarly and there are useful notes in
the same document; I am working at it in parallel and I should be able to
complete my first pass today.

Thanks for the feedback,

Jacopo

Re: About our LICENSE and NOTICE requirements

[Jacques Le Roux]

After reading this page and what it tells about "/only bundled bits matter."/ I 
trust we can remove all the lines which concern *.jar files

Then it will easier to think about the other bits and we will need to keep 
lines like

framework/images/webapp/images/date/timezones/*
framework/resources/fonts/NotoSans/*

If no lines remain for a specific license then the license text itself can be 
removed.

Using these simple rules will help to greatly reduce OFBiz LICENSE files

I'm yet unsure about the NOTICE files

Re: About our LICENSE and NOTICE requirements

Jacopo,

I agree, seems to be clearly stated:

"LICENSE and NOTICE must always be tailored to the content of the 
specific distribution they reside within. Dependencies which are not 
included in the distribution MUST NOT be added to LICENSE and NOTICE. As 
far as LICENSE and NOTICE are concerned, only bundled bits matter."


Cheers,

Michael
