verify the license situation prior to each release
---------------------------------------------------
Key: FOR-855
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-855
Project: Forrest
Type: Bug
Components: Project administration
Reporter: David Crossley
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 0.8-dev
This should be continually happening anyway, but immediately prior to each
release we need to verify that our license situation is in order. This issue
should not ever be closed, rather just move the "Fix for Version" on to the
next release.
Here are some of the tasks:
A) Ensure that all supporting libraries have a corresponding license. Basically
every jar file or other external package needs to have a *.license.txt file.
Ensure that any license conditions are met, e.g. for some we must add an entry
to NOTICE.txt, while for some others we must not. Remember to abide by the ASF
guidelines (e.g. nothing more restrictive than the Apache License).
B) Scan the whole trunk repository to add missing ASF copyright headers to
source files and to ensure that the ASF copyright headers have not been
accidently added to external files. See etc/relicense.txt
