Justin Mclean commented on CASSANDRA-16550: ------------------------------------------- Looks good to me. For completeness you could also include a copy of the text of the BSD and CC0 licenses mentioned in LICENSE. I also come across mention of creative commons licensed content in [1]. I think in this case it's OK but do note that the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 is not actually compatible with the Apache License version 2 and you cannot include it in a source release.
