Stian Soiland-Reyes created VFS-611: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Clarify NOTICE is not required for JcrUtils from JackRabbit Key: VFS-611 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-611 Project: Commons VFS Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 2.1 Reporter: Stian Soiland-Reyes Fix For: 2.1 In reviewing an RC for Apache Commons VFS 2.1 https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/Zjouqd6cpmohrj3 we wondered about a file https://github.com/apache/commons-vfs/blob/trunk/core/src/test/java/org/apache/commons/vfs2/provider/webdav/test/JcrUtils.java which we have adapted from Jackrabbit 2.4.0. Jackrabbit has a NOTICE which includes > Based on source code originally developed by > Day Software (http://www.day.com/). Looking at the git history https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit/commits/trunk/jackrabbit-jcr-commons/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/commons/JcrUtils.java I think this file was earliest added in JackRabbit in 2009 by Jukka Zitting: https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit/commit/0882a5cc1ed4ce1cf9d3c6b3a592f97c5772ce25 (first released in 1.6.0 and 2.0-alpha1 ) We believe that as this file was added 3 years after graduating from the Incubator it is not covered by the "Day Software" NOTICE requirement and is just made by Apache Software Foundation - in which case no special self-attribution is needed in VFS's NOTICE file. I've asked on dev@jackrabbit just to verify: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/Zk01ufa8icmfvo8 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
