Now there is (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-15). > If may be (but unlikely IMO) that this applies [1]. Best to ask on > legal discuss to confirm. I have red the related ASF documents back then, and I don't understand how can this lead to any legal problem since: - These binaries were contributed directly to the project - Their origin is clarified in the NOTICE file. - As a side note, obviously, there can be images and such in a source release, which are also binaries. But yes, I will ask this on legal if it isn't settled here pretty soon. >> As of the NOTICE entires for them: >> - They were added as these are binaries and hence can't have >> copyright notice comment. > > In a binary convenience release you would normally add LICENSE and > NOTICE to these files in the META-INF directory of the jars.

[2] To clarify for other reads, note that these jars are not distributed separately (they are inside src/test/resources) and the jar-s that are distributed separately, such as the Maven artifacts, all have META-INF/NOTICES. (Also the content of these jar-s isn't useful in itself... it's just test data.) > Thanks, > Justin > > 1. http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-exceptions > 2. http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-binaries -- Thanks, Daniel Dekany --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
