Apache releases handle the equivalent of the THIRDPARTYLICENSES by combined use of the NOTICE and LICENSE files. Also, as has been determined elsewhere, the NOTICE and LICENSE files on a binary distribution may be different than on the source code because of additional third-party material that may be embedded in a binary release.
When the IP clearance is completed, the THIRDPARTYLICENSES notice should disappear and the NOTICE and LICENSE files should carry the necessary information instead. -----Original Message----- From: Jürgen Schmidt [mailto:jogischm...@googlemail.com] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2012 03:04 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: IP clearance issues ( was Re: AOO 3.4 QA Weekly Status Report As of 2012.03.19(2012.03.13 - 2012.03.19)) On 3/19/12 8:40 AM, Pedro Giffuni wrote: > Hello; > > --- Lun 19/3/12, Shenfeng Liu<liush...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > ... >> Data: Lunedì 19 marzo 2012, 01:29 >> Pedro, >> You can see from the test plan >> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Release-QA-Plan >> , that >> the IP clearance testing that Lily performed is functional >> verification >> test for those areas impacted by the IP clearance work.

Marvin was surprise that our LICENSE file contains ALv2 license only and list not all licenses of used externals. Any opinions on this how we can address this best?
