I can't argue about the exact content and the format how a NOTICE have to look like. No changes in the NOTICE file for the src release compared to AOO 3.4 We had many discussion on the NOTICE file for 3.4 and followed the advices of we got from these discussion The discussion took place on ooo-dev legal-discuss And you can find comments here on the list. > > If the binary builds include additional software, then their N&L files > need to include any required references. The binaries includes an aggregated NOTICE file where other included external software (category-b) is integrated. Here we added the COINMP stuff for the 3.4.1 release that was raised as feedback to 3.4. > > I think the NOTICE problems are serious enough to warrant a respin. mmh, I am unsure, the next time somebody else with a different view and opinion comes up and we have to change it again? Again we changed it according the advices we got for the AOO 3.4 release.
