Doug Cutting commented on ZOOKEEPER-521:
----------------------------------------
This is not required. Many Apache projects (e.g., HTTPD) have long included
autoconf-generated configure scripts in their releases and none to my knowledge
include anything in the NOTICE file. If someone feels this policy is incorrect
or needs clarificaiton then they should take it up on legal-disc...@a.o, not on
zookeeper-...@h.a.o.
> include autotools (autoconf/automake) in NOTICE file

> Issue Type: Task
> Components: build, documentation
> Reporter: Patrick Hunt
> Assignee: Patrick Hunt
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.3.0

>
> The toplevel notice file should be updated to credit the gnu autotools
> project, something like:
> This project includes scripts generated by GNU autotools
> (autoconf/automake/etc...).
> These files are released under the Apache license.
> This is permissible under the license clarification at:
>
> http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/autoconf-2.53/html_node/Distributing.html#Distributing
> we should also take the opportunity to adjust the existing text as detailed
> here:
> http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice
