Hello, I’ll check and add the NOTICE & apache licence into that page inside the app if necessary. I think creating the apk then adding it, an apache licence, notice & the dependencies list to a zip seems like a good idea. I assume that we can push this zip to the “binaries” area on dist and the actual source zip to the source “dist” area https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/taverna
Which I guess means we need to wait until the current release is moved out.

Generally it is simpler to do just a source release - if we are doing a binary release we also need to have a complete LICENSE/NOTICE for our bundled dependencies: https://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#binary However you already did the external licenses here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-mobile/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/licences.html And so we should be able to refer to this in the binary distribution - that's the file that can be viewed form within the app, right? (This seem to be missing our own NOTICE and the complete text of Apache LICENSE, is that added in somehow?) Given that the work of dependency licenses is done I would vote for TavMobile as a source+binary release. It might be easiest to put the apk manually (or with a shell script) inside a zip next to a LICENSE and NOTICE and a copy of that licenses.html? Otherwise you have to install and run the app to view its (shrink-wrap) license.. Signing of the apk with Google Play does not need to be part of the release process, in particular if that might mean "distributing" the apk to Google Play prematurely. If it is too much work, let's do just a source release (as we did with server/cmd line) avoid more delays. But then we should not put it in Google Play as an official "Apache Taverna Mobile" release, just personally add it as "Taverna Mobile".
