Also the idea is that the N&L (and Disclaimer, Readme if any) are at the top-level of the artifact. The only exception to this is that N&L files are added to a jar META-INF directory instead (as that is the convention for jars) . Having the files in a standard place is intended to make it easy for the consumer to find the files. The N&L files are important for the consumer; they should not have to go looking for them. > If giraph.jar doesn't embed dep1 and dep2, then there's no need to > mention them in the NOTICE/LICENSE pair of that jar. > > Instead, since you are including dep1 and dep2 inside > giraph-bin.tar.gz, they should be covered by the NOTICE/LICENSE pair > of the tarball. > > If you look inside the jackrabbit-standalone jar, you'll notice that > it actually contains all the external components mentioned in the > NOTICE/LICENSE files. > > BR, > > Jukka Zitting > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
