SebbASF commented on MNG-5487:
------------------------------
The SCM urls are published beyond the developer community (and are in poms etc)
so must contain the N&L files in an obvious location.
> 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.
> See:
> http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice-text
