I've found a licence issue while making the maven war artifact. As you know we
make a war release using our 'ant build-release-war' task. This artifact is
then usually located up at the normal apache download area.
(http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/wookie/version/binary/war) This artifact
is aimed at a typical mysql/tomcat configuration and assumes that the user will
deploy the war in that kind of setup. As far as I can tell, the NOTICE file is
okay for this.
However, the *new* maven war artifact we make is slightly different in that it
is intended to be self contained and as such uses an embedded derby db (the
maven artifact contains a 'derby-10.4.2.0.jar' file, while the other war distro
does not) While reviewing the NOTICE file for this artifact I see that the
reference to derby (as found in the standalone NOTICE file) is not present.
i.e the following text...

I can quite easily add that text to the maven war artifact LICENSE before
uploading to the staging area, but then the tagged '0.9.2-incubating'
etc/release/war/LICENSE would be slightly different from the one found in the
maven war build.
I think you meant NOTICE? There is no additional LICENSE requirement for Derby.
Oops, Yes i did mean NOTICE, i started the email by referencing the
correct NOTICE file and then for some reason swapped to referring to it
as LICENSE, my bad.
As it only affects one of the binary releases and not the source release, I
would have thought we could get away with fixing this in the release artifact
rather than starting another tag?
For me its a trivial change, I but wanted to check with other IPMC
members that it would be ok to do this. (I'd rather get this clear than
risk people voting -1 to the whole thing when we start the vote)
*If* we can't change this now, does this mean we should drop the maven WAR
artifact for this release? (this doesn't affect anything else)

P.S The other builds are up at:

you want to check them out before I start the vote.
