Hi, Steve, The policy page does requires the year to reflect the distribution of the CURRENT and past versions of the product. It we should update it. But does that mean we have to update all headers in most source files, or only the NOTICE file?
And I think this is NOT that strict, I checked a few other Apache projects: Kylin 2.2.0 , in NOTICE, it is 2014-2016, but Kylin 2.2.0 released at 2017 Nov ZooKeeper 3.4.8 , NOTICE file said 2009-2015, but ZooKeeper 3.4.8 released at 2016 Feb Drill 1.12 , NOTICE file said 2013-2014, Drill 1.12 released at 2017 Dec HBase is very good, update NOTICE for most releases, but the 2.0.0-beta-1 released at 2018 Jan, and the NOTICE file not update the year, still 2007-2017 Kudu 1.2.0, NOTICE file is 2016, but it released at 2017 Jan Hive 1.2.2 , NOTICE file is 2008-2015, 1.2.2 released at 2017 April ... Hadoop is very strict at this, not only update year for each release, but also lists all third-party license header in its NOTICE file. So in sum, I think it will be good for Trafodion to strictly follow the rule in the next release, but it is not strict for now. Could you consider to change your vote ?

This is the policy: http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice I don't see any guidance about how strict that dates be correct. --Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Hans Zeller [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2018 2:49 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [VOTE] Apache Trafodion release 2.2.0 RC 2 > > Hi Steve, does this really justify an entire new round?
