Justin, Thanks for the great feedback!
Regarding the NOTICE in the binary distribution: the contents came directly from NOTICE files contained in bundled dependencies included in the distribution. I’m sure I don’t completely understand the requirements yet [1] so thanks for any clarification you can provide. I’ve included links below to a few representative cases. NOTICE contains copyright, commons-io [2] NOTICE contains copyright and a few other declarations, log4j2 [3] NOTICE contains LOTS of stuff, lucene [4] Would it help to clearly delineate boundaries within the NOTICE file? For example: // ------------------------------------------------------------------ // NOTICE file corresponding to the section 4d of The Apache License, // Version 2.0, in this case for Lucene // ------------------------------------------------------------------ Anthony [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201601.mbox/%3cCADY20s5nLc9zLKoNYf_8W8vf+Q6ri=-utanuaxzgorbysxw...@mail.gmail.com%3e [2] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/io/trunk/NOTICE.txt [3] https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=logging-log4j2.git;a=blob;f=NOTICE.txt;h=0f7d00604ec9722a7f1e394c49b94caead89a0d1;hb=HEAD [4] https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucene-solr.git;a=blob;f=lucene/NOTICE.txt;h=ecf08201a5ee634b9d149f18c6d2d2a9ed3334b0;hb=HEAD > On Feb 2, 2016, at 10:15 PM, Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > From a very quick look at the binary release the LICENSE / NOTICE needs some > work. > > The NOTICE contains a lot of what should go in LICENSE.
