@Justin, thanks for the link to “prominent label”. IMO, what to do about older releases is a different topic. Changing the 4.14 LICENSE and NOTICE won’t help older releases.
I had two other thoughts on this topic: 1) I’m wondering if one of the reasons for the Installer having a checkbox for SWFObject is because the Installer doesn’t let the customer review LICENSE and NOTICE of the release before installing, and the checkboxes effectively take the customer through the LICENSE. 2) I’m for more bundling as well, but I’ve been trying to setup releases with less bundling because of [2] where it says: "the binary/bytecode package must have the same version number as the source release and may only add binary/bytecode files that are the result of compiling that version of the source code release.” That sort of implies that we aren’t supposed to have 3rd party binaries in the binary package. If we can in fact bundle more stuff in the binary package, maybe we go all the way and bundle SWFObject and OSMF too? -Alex [2] http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html On 12/21/14, 1:20 AM, "Erik de Bruin" <e...@ixsoftware.nl> wrote: >Funny thing: I'm with Justin on this ;-) > >Let's make this simpler for the end-user, not more complicated.
