Marvin Humphrey updated INCUBATOR-125:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: licensing_howto.mdtext
> How-to guide for "Assembling LICENSE and NOTICE"
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: INCUBATOR-125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-125
> Project: Incubator
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: site
> Reporter: Marvin Humphrey
> Attachments: licensing_howto.mdtext
>
>
> While the ASF provides reference documentation for LICENSE and NOTICE,
> confusion persists and existing versions vary widely in quality.
> To address these problems, we should augment the reference documentation with
> a "how-to" guide which provides formulaic instructions for assembling LICENSE
> and NOTICE under common conditions.
> One key feature of this how-to should be a mapping of approved licenses to
> what they require as far as NOTICE. This mapping will help PMCs determine
> when the licensing information of a dependency contains a "required third
> party notice" which must be added to NOTICE.
> There are at least four possible locations where this how-to might live:
> * www.apache.org/dev/licensing_howto.html -- probably the best location,
> considering the intended audience.
> * www.apache.org/legal/licensing_howto.html -- if legal wants it.
> * incubator.apache.org/guides/licensing_howto.html -- probably not ideal,
> because the information applies to TLPs as well as podlings and we have a
> problem with duplication.
> * Somewhere on community.apache.org -- in theory.
