Dunno if it's exactly documentation but see this from Roy Fielding.... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-26?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12732740#action_12732740
Based on this I've been advising projects to put the apache LICENSE and and a NOTICE file that covers the actual contents of svn (i.e. not including stuff that is added to binaries as part of the build process) at expected svn checkout roots such as, here, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shiro/trunk. I don't consider this a barrier to graduation.. +1 david jencks On Aug 16, 2010, at 12:59 PM, Kalle Korhonen wrote: > On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 11:43 AM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Also, just noticed that the SVN tree does not appear to have a copy of >> the LICENSE file. >> Normally this is stored alongside the NOTICE file at the top-level, i.e. in >> http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shiro/trunk/ >> Looks like the file was deleted in the following commit: >> r979180 | kaosko | 2010-07-26 07:45:44 +0100 (Mon, 26 Jul 2010) | 1 line >> Was this intentional? > > Yes, that was intentional, see the commit message: > "Follow through on the suggestions given when 1.0.0 release was made. > Removed LICENSE.txt as that is added to the source distro via Apache > parent pom and its remote resource plugin configuration.
