Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-850:
--------------------------------------
> Is there a reason to keep the junit 3.8.1 jar in lib and also use ivy to
> fetch junit 4.6?
We were explicitly pulling in junit 4.6 to use for our unit tests, and
implicitly pulling in junit 3.8.1 as a dependency for at least one of those
other jars in lib/ (Ivy would resolve that to 4.6 only). So that explains why
it is the way it is, though I do suspect that the jar(s) that declared a
dependency on junit did so in error, (or we simply don't exercise those parts
of the lib(s)).
The unit tests, system tests and cassandra-cli (one of those aforementioned
jars is jline, used by the cli) all seem to work after removing
lib/junit-3.8.1.jar , so it's probably safe to leave it out.

I'm not sure it would satisfy everyone on the incubator list, but it is correct
with respect to the legal requirements, at least according to my understanding
of the respective licenses (actually, it errs on the side of caution wherever I
wasn't 100% sure).

That was something else that came up on the incubator list, and TTBOMK there
wasn't consensus for this either. I can find no such requirement in my reading
of the actual licenses. I can however append a sentence or two to LICENSE that
refers to lib/license for third-party libs, (I think that would satisfy that
camp).
