SebbASF created MNG-5487: ---------------------------- Summary: Missing NOTICE and LICENSE files at top level of SCM trees Key: MNG-5487 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5487 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Reporter: SebbASF Priority: Critical
There should be a NOTICE and LICENSE file in an obvious place in every published source release. Since the SVN / GIT repos are published, AIUI they should have N & L files. I would expect to find N & L files alongside the pom.xml files. The only such files I could find were under apache-maven: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=maven.git;a=tree;f=apache-maven;h=b1f7f0b63f3617a55381ccaa2ee25b7050e218fc;hb=master The NOTICE file there is also incorrect; the leading 5 lines should be removed; the NOTICE file MUST start with something like: === Apache Maven Copyright 2001-2013 The Apache Software Foundation This product includes software developed at The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). ==== Note also that the correct phrase is "developed at" - *not* "developed by" - the distinction is important.
