Thank you both and for the useful links - I was a bit confused by this for the BSD license, because of the 2nd clause: > Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright > notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the > documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. I would think this means that the taverna-execution-hadoop.jar file (which is distributed in Maven Central) must include the full notice "somewhere", so I hope it's OK that it still remains in its META-INF/NOTICE [3] - as otherwise I think it would be too easy to miss for downstream users (including ourselves if we later distribute the Taverna Command Line as a binary distro). However I agree this does not need to be in the top-level taverna-engine/NOTICE, so I've shrunk that back to normal [2], and added to the end of LICENSE [1]: > --------------------------------------------------------- > taverna-execution-hadoop/src/main/java/org/pingel/util/CrossProduct.java > is licensed under a BSD-3 license, see its file headers for details. > --------------------------------------------------------- Do you think this should be sufficient?
