josephevans opened a new issue #20616:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/20616
## Problem statement
Based on the feedback from ASF on our vote to release MXNet v1.9.0.rc7, we
still have a few licensing issues that caused a -1 vote, which prevents us from
moving forward with the release.
Based on the RC7 voting thread, the following licensing issues are still
outstanding:
- [ ] Files incorrectly have ASF headers. These files are all copyrighted by
NumPy developers and released under the 3-clause BSD license. We should not
have added the ASF header and kept the original license headers intact, and
mention this by including it in the "3-clause BSD license" section in LICENSE.
- src/operator/numpy/np_einsum_op.cc
- src/operator/numpy/np_einsum_op-inl.h
- src/operator/numpy/np_einsum_path_op-inl.h
- [ ] Some files are not correctly listed in LICENSE. For example, these
files contain a "Copyright Microsoft" line but are released under ASF-2 or MIT
license. These need to be properly mentioned in LICENSE:
- src/operator/contrib/deformable_psroi_pooling.cu
- src/operator/contrib/deformable_psroi_pooling-inl.h
- src/operator/contrib/deformable_psroi_pooling.cc
- src/operator/contrib/multi_proposal-inl.h
- src/operator/contrib/multi_proposal.cc
- src/operator/contrib/multi_proposal.cu
- src/operator/contrib/psroi_pooling.cc
- src/operator/contrib/psroi_pooling.cu
- _**Additional files in the same situation as above (identified by
running skywalking-eyes):**_
- src/operator/contrib/psroi_pooling-inl.h
- src/operator/contrib/deformable_convolution-inl.h
- src/operator/contrib/deformable_convolution.cc
- src/operator/contrib/deformable_convolution.cu
As ASF noted, not all files were checked and there could be others that are
missed. In order to better identify licensing issues in the future, we should
extend the use of automated tools (such as
[skywalking-eyes](https://github.com/apache/skywalking-eyes)).
- [ ] Updated out automated tools to detect files that have multiple license
headers
- [ ] Create/extend current tool to ensure files are correctly listed in the
correct section in LICENSE
- [ ] Properly document 3rd-party files/symlinks in include directory in
LICENSE
