This is a eclipse plugin so the source contains images for Eclipse icons. These files are under EPL. The images are binary artifacts but part of our source.
Bin folder being part of src in one of our projects( org.apache.hdt.ui/bin/org/apache/hdt/ui), that should not have been there. Do we need to release again for that ? or can I correct the src package(delete the folder) ? regards Rahul On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 12:31 PM, Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > -1 binding (binary files in source release + NOTICE/LICENSE issues) > > I checked: > - vote thread has 3 +1 binding votes > - signatures and hash correct > - has DISCLAIMER > - LICENSE and NOTICE have issues (see below) > - binary files in source release (see below) > - all source files have correct headers > > The NOTICE contains a MIT license, as far as I'm aware this isn't correct > and the information should go in LICENSE.
