Can you please please show where ASF policy says it's OK for Category X to be 
in the provided scope?
While ASF policy does make some exceptions for some well-known build tools, I 
don't think that applies here See 
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#build-tools

So I fail to see how this is "Bullshit" as you put it.

> NOTICE.txt (alleged…?)
> * "© DataStax" still appears in the README
> * spotbugs is LGPL, in 4.x, and not correctly made provided scope
> * add any BSD/MIT deps to LICENCE
> * add copyright to a few missing files (e.g. ci/install-jdk.sh ), use rat 
> plugin to ensure all
> These things must be done before a release.
> Cat X deps we included as build tool by using scope provided we should put a 
> test in to ensure they work at runtime without the dep doesn't regress in the 
> future.
