Re: /legal or /lib?

[Oliver Zeigermann]

My understanding is the licenses should be in the lib directory as 
anyone using CVS and browsing through the lib dir shall immediately be 
pointed to the fact that the lib is not from Apache. This would not be 
possible with a legal dir.

Other than that: are there still missing license / notice files?

It has been pointed out that we need to be distributing licenses along 
with the .jar files we have as dependencies. My question is should we 
put those license files in /lib alongside the .jar they reference, or 
should we centralize the license files into a seperate directory, say 
/legal with easily understandable names (third-party.jar.license.txt)?

I see merits to both, but I'm liking the /legal option because it seems 
cleaner. I don't really like the idea of non-library files being in /lib.

I think we need to choose a standard location and encourage anyone who 
has added dependencies to attach the appropriate license files. This 
should probably happen before the 10th.
