It’s easy enough: - Add ASF headers to file that are not 3rd party but part of teh project - Leave 3rd party headers as they are We will need to make a list of all 3rd party licenses and put them somewhere (a directory called licenses is how it’s usually done) and point to them from the license file. > I also know that while most of the OS code is in the Category A licences we > do have some cases of Category X specifically BSD-4 (ppp code if I remember > correctly is an example). We’ll need to take a look at that, but if it from the University of California, it been rescinded back in 1999, so should not be an issue. > I was planning on putting together a doc in confluence to start tracking > the release "requirements" and we can try to move toward them each release. As I’ve suggested before Fossology [1] might bee a good way to track all of this, we can set up an instance on a VM. It's easy to run locally in docker as well.
