Justin Mclean commented on CASSANDRA-18969:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks, Henry, for answering my question (originally asked on the incubator 
general list) that these are indeed optional. Regarding dependencies, A 
Category X build dependency may output content that is under a license not 
compatible with the Apache license or if it's under a "community license", even 
if the license seems compatible, it may impose further restrictions that are 
not compatible with the Apache license e.g non-commercial use, so it always 
best to double-check.

> * there is still code copyrighted to others that isn't mentioned in 
> NOTICE.txt  (e.g. ci/install-jdk.sh )
> * "© 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
> * ensure copyright headers are on all files, use rat plugin
> 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.
