ASF GitHub Bot updated FLINK-41467:
-----------------------------------
Labels: pull-request-available (was: )
> PyFlink apache-flink package is missing the NOTICE file
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-41467
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-41467
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API / Python
> Affects Versions: 1.13.0, 2.3.0, 2.2.1, 1.20.5
> Reporter: Rui Fan
> Assignee: Rui Fan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 2.2.2, 1.20.6, 2.3.1, 2.4.0, 2.5.0
>
>
> The {{apache-flink}} Python package published to PyPI (both the sdist and the
> wheels) has not contained a NOTICE file since 1.13.0.
> {{flink-python/MANIFEST.in}} contains {{include NOTICE}}, but there is no
> {{flink-python/NOTICE}} file and {{flink-python/setup.py}} only copies the
> root LICENSE into the package. The logic that generated a NOTICE file for
> this package was removed together with the bundled licenses in FLINK-22095,
> so {{include NOTICE}} silently matches nothing. The
> {{apache-flink-libraries}} package is not affected, its setup.py still
> generates a NOTICE file.
> The ASF release policy requires every distributed package to ship a NOTICE
> file:
> * https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#licensing-documentation :
> "Each package MUST provide a LICENSE file and a NOTICE file which account for
> the package's exact content."
> * https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html : a NOTICE file containing
> the standard ASF attribution is required even for packages that only contain
> ASF code.
> The {{apache-flink}} package only contains Apache Flink code (the pyflink
> Python sources plus the bin/conf scripts from flink-dist), so the fix is to
> add a {{flink-python/NOTICE}} file with the standard ASF attribution (same
> header as the root NOTICE):
> {noformat}
> Apache Flink
> Copyright 2014-2026 The Apache Software Foundation
> This product includes software developed at
> The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).
> {noformat}
> The root NOTICE must not be copied as is, because it lists third-party
> material that is not bundled in the Python package.
