We currently include a copy of LICENSE and NOTICE in every one of our JARs, but we don't include the THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt.
I've got a patch to combine the 3rd party notices file into the license file, but it makes our boot JARs noticeably bigger. I can't put my finger on the ASF policy, but I believe it *is* best practice to include the license and notice in each jar. The only alternative I can think of is to copy the LICENSE file into each module, and only include each THIRD_PARTY_NOTICE section that applies to that module. WDYT? any other ideas? ( In the meantime I'll commit the changes I have got do that we are back in compliance. ) Regards, Tim Tim Ellison wrote: > As you know, we have a third party license file [1] that contains > required licenses and attributions for Harmony's dependencies. > > We include this file in our distributions, but it is not conventional to > have such a file in Apache downloads, they are normally included in the > LICENSE or NOTICE or README files.
