Matthew Hayes commented on DATAFU-76:
-------------------------------------

I've updated the NOTICE file in the review board below.  

https://reviews.apache.org/r/28468/

I think we actually need to do some cleanup of the NOTICE file.  Some may be 
able to be removed.  For example, there are several dependencies such as Avro, 
log4j, jsr-305 and joda-time that are not bundled in the the datafu JAR that is 
produced.  I've been reading http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html and 
it states:

{quote}
DO NOT modify LICENSE or NOTICE for dependencies whose bits are not bundled.
{quote}

I will try to clean up the NOTICE file and update LICENSE based on my reading 
of this licensing page.

> It looks like the files in build-plugin were copied in from another github 
> account.  This is problematic as this code hasn't been given to ASF and 
> doesn't appear to be ASL2 licensed (or even explicitly licensed at all).  Is 
> there no other way to include this code?  If not, we need to figure out the 
> licensing and copyright issues before it can be included.
