Hi all, In Rev. 667038 I just commited a proposal to commons/log bundle [1] to what we have been discussing:
The README.txt file is adapted from the README.txt file of the Jackrabbit API project. The top level LICENSE and NOTICE files only pertain to the source code itself, which contains no 3rd party code The LICENSE and NOTICE files to be contained in the binary package are moved to the src/main/resources/META-INF folder and will be packaged as normal project resources Missing links for now: - The disclaimer is not part of the README.txt (yet), maybe this should be added as a section there replacing the existing DISCLAIMER file ? - The src/main/resources/META-INF(LICENSE file has no reference to the LICENSE.slf4j file - The src/main/resources/META-INF/NOTICE file contains an attribution of the SLF4J libraries. As I can see no requirement for such an attribution, I am not sure, whether this is required ?
