---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.0.0
> Automate inclusion of 3-party licenses in binary distribution

> Key: HIVE-27504
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27504
> Project: Hive

> Manually downloading and including licenses of bundled dependencies in the
> binary distribution (as it is done currently under [binary-package-licenses
> directory|
> https://github.com/apache/hive/tree/bd02abc9eba3aa0cd3701b26d9169130551a12ef/binary-package-licenses])
> is error-prone and time consuming.
> Moreover, dependencies and their versions change rapidly and it is hard to
> keep the LICENSE documentation correct and up-to-date. At the moment, the
> binary-package-licenses directory is stale; some bundled dependencies are
> missing, others do not longer exist, and versions are not mentioned anywhere
> so we cannot know if the license has changed.
> Furthermore, every dependency change (add/remove/version bump) potentially
> requires commits and modifications to the source code.
> The goal of this ticket is to automate the download and inclusion of
> 3rd-party licenses in the binary distribution to minimize/eliminate the need
> for human intervention. As part of the automation the following issues should
> be fixed as well:
> 1. LICENSE/NOTICE should reflect exactly what lies inside each package
> distribution (source & binary); ideally no more and definitely not less.
> 2. LICENSES for bundled dependencies should be referenced from the main
> LICENSE file not from NOTICE (or other places) as it is right now.
> 3. For bundled dependencies their versions should be included cause different
> version may use different licenses and it should be clear which version is
> bundled.
