Hi,
-1 binding as it look like the source release has a dependancy on LGPL
software.
It may be that this is not actually a dependancy, and just an issue with the
binary NOTICE file - but either way it should be fixed.
Everything else looks good however.
In the binary NOTICE you have:
"This product contains a modified version of Dave Koelle's Alphanum Algorithm,
which can be obtained at:
* LICENSE:
* LICENSE.alphanum.txt (GNU LGPL 2.1 or above)
* HOMEPAGE:
* http://www.davekoelle.com/alphanum.html
LGPL is Category X [4]
Checked for the source release:
- name contains incubating
- signatures and hashes good
- DISCLAIMER exists
- LICENSE good
- NOTICE contains unneeded info re MIT licensed code [1]. Pease remove for next
release.
- All source files have ASF headers
- No unexpected binary files
- Can compile from source
I didn’t fully check the binary release, but it has some LICENSE and NOTICE
issues:
- The Apache license text should be at the start of the LICENSE File
- The NOTICE contain far too much unneeded information. See [2][3] on what goes
in NOTICE.
- Looks like BINARY may contain LGPL licensed software according to it’s
license.
Thanks,
Justin
