Since we are only shipping jars and jars already include the licenses e.g. in META-INF or the pom file, we could refer to them in the NOTICE file instead of replicating them.

Hi all,


We are just preparing a new release and are wondering how and what is required for licenses and copyrights of components shipped with an artifact. According to the release policy http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#distribute-other-artifacts

we need to include licenses of all components shipped in an artifact. The example just appends all licenses to the LICENSE file including the copyrights. Is the copyright required? Shouldn't the copyright be appended to the NOTICE file instead?

Also we found that some artifacts have contradicting or missing licenses e.g. in the pom of one artifact a BSD clause 2 license is mentioned but no LICENSE files are shipped in the jars, however the source contains a BSD clause 3 license.

Thanks,
Jonas
