Summary: Remove extra text from license
Key: YUNIKORN-3151
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YUNIKORN-3151
Project: Apache YuniKorn
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Hsien-Cheng(Ryan) Huang
Assignee: Hsien-Cheng(Ryan) Huang
The Apache 2.0 license on the website shows that it ends after "END OF TERMS
AND CONDITIONS" https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
387383537-f56c8594-5c32-41d5-a5b7-f4a587125ca2
This text exists because it's been mistakenly copied and pasted from
https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt where it includes placeholder
text and the intent seems to be reproducing the application instructions as
seen on https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 rather than as text that's
intended to be included in the license.
The text removed in this PR diverges slightly from the text on
https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0#apply
How to apply the Apache License to your work
Include a copy of the Apache License, typically in a file called LICENSE, in
your work, and consider also including a NOTICE file that references the
License.
To apply the Apache License to specific files in your work, attach the
following boilerplate declaration, replacing the fields enclosed by brackets
"[]" with your own identifying information. (Don't include the brackets!)
Enclose the text in the appropriate comment syntax for the file format. We also
recommend that you include a file or class name and description of purpose on
the same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier identification
within third-party archives.
The text on the website ⬆️ seems to indicate that placing the Apache 2.0
license text in a LICENSE is sufficient for a project. The text given in the
text file ⬇️ does not mention a LICENSE file and instead seems to imply that
the full text of the Apache 2.0 license is not required, but use the
"boilerplate" after swapping out the placeholders.
Looking at other high profile projects that use the Apache 2.0 license it looks
like their understanding matches mine, here's Rust
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/fda68927475070696fcc9d1f5c9c990f0e1af87a/LICENSE-APACHE.
Here's a discussion from 5 years ago on whether to remove the appendix from
there rust-lang/rust#67734. And here's an ASF project that merged a similar
change:
