As I understand it we have already made a best effort to indicate exactly what part of the work originated elsewhere. If you read the LICENSE and then the referenced code pointed out by the LICENSE it is clear what has derived from the 3rd party. Putting it into another file would certainly help. The exact header required in that separate file is what needs to be established. Maybe you've misunderstood my reaction to the commit; I actually wanted to avoid *overdoing* the acknowledgement, which as you wrote, is not lacking. In my view, the question is just where acknowledgment should go when the permissive licence allows relicensing (provided the original attribution notice is kept). As a user, I'd find it quite confusing to read two different licence texts within that LICENCE. Does that even make sense from a legal POV? Common sense (IMO) would dictate that there one licence (in LICENCE), but that downstream developers should take notice (in NOTICE) that they might need to forward further some of the attributions. Regards, Gilles I have been reading past issues on the legal JIRA and browsed the mail archives. Most of the examples are about using existing code in entire files in the same language. I cannot find anything about code conversions with adaptions. However this code is a derivative work so the original license terms must be followed. I found an example of a project that incorporated a method from elsewhere [1] that was under a catgegory A license. This made a comment in the source that the method was under a different license to the rest of the file. The JIRA ticket has a link to the GitHub PR with the code. It contains this: This method is based on `Python 2.7's fnmatch.translate`_. The code in this method is licensed under PYTHON SOFTWARE FOUNDATION LICENSE VERSION 2. So I suggest: - keep the derived work in the same location (do not move to a separate file) - mark the method as licensed under the original license - add the licenses to LICENSE and the copyright to NOTICE This is essentially what has already been done but without the addition to NOTICE. I've looked at the tomcat project for an example of how to use LICENSE and NOTICE. Here the various components that are derived works are identified and those components under a different license have the licences in the project LICENSE file. This would be an example of how to do it for the two licenses we are incorporating: LICENSE [standard text ...] APACHE COMMONS NUMBERS SUBCOMPONENTS: Apache Commons Numbers includes a number of subcomponents with separate copyright notices and license terms.

If it were so, which one does actually apply? The legal docs are mainly targetted at inclusion of entire 3rd party works. In this case we have snippets adapted from third party works included into our code. So perhaps this applies [1]: ---CUT--- WHAT IS THE PROVENANCE OF SOURCE CODE FROM THE ASF? CODE DEVELOPED ELSEWHERE, RECEIVED UNDER A CATEGORY A LICENSE, INCORPORATED INTO APACHE PROJECTS, DISTRIBUTED BY APACHE, AND LICENSED TO DOWNSTREAM USERS UNDER ITS ORIGINAL LICENSE This code retains its external identity and is being incorporated into an Apache project for convenience, to avoid referencing an external repository whose contents are not under control of the project. The code retains its original license; and distribution as part of the Apache project explicitly calls out the license. The code retains its original header which refers to its own license in the distribution. If changes are made to the code while at Apache, the standard Apache header is prepended to each changed file. Additionally, any legally-required notices related to the code are published in the distribution. ---CUT--- So here we fall into the "If changes are made to the code while at Apache" section. We prepend the file with the Apache header and include the original license as well. Since the original code is in a different language the source has been modified by necessity. I cannot find a section on software conversions. Doesn't the code (here and there) reference papers? In that case, I'd say that we use another library for checking compliance but your work is a re-implementation ("from scratch") of standard algorithms. The code adapted from Boost has two methods based on a paper and a third method based on unpublished work. So here Boost is the official source. The code adapted from FDlibm has no paper. Thus in both cases the original source appears to be the reference. It may be clearer to extract the relevant parts that have been adapted into a new source file. This can have the Apache header and then the original header from the original work. For the two items involved they can be extracted into separate files without impacting the original location. IANAL, but IMHO that would still not count as two licences and would not solve the issue (of which licence applies). Also, if there was substantial adaptation work, it is certainly not fair (to you) to misrepresent the code here as having been developed there.
