I think the SCALA NOTICE should read

In my reading of it, that is all the license requires.

This assumes that the product does indeed *include* the SCALA compiler.
Otherwise the references must be removed from NOTICE and LICENSE.

 I also notice that the LICENSE file has copyright notices.

I don't think that's a problem; they are often included in 3rd party licenses.

 Hi,

 The Kafka community is hoping to get some feedback on the updated NOTICE
 and LICENSE files for Kafka, before we post a new vote for it.

 http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/NOTICE

 The previous vote thread or release artifacts are here -

 http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/NOTICE

There are spurious === lines at the top of the file; these must be removed.

 http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/LICENSE

All license for 3rd party products should be present in the LICENSE file.
If the identical license is shared between several products, there's
only need to add it once.
Add a header line before the additional licenses to say what they are for.

For example:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/LICENSE

For 3rd party products under AL 2.0, add a list at the end of the AL
license text, before any other licenses.

As it stands, either the NOTICE file is wrong, or the LICENSE file is
wrong, because the NOTICE file should not mention 3rd party products
that are not in the LICENSE file.

And neither should mention code that is not actually included in the
release artifacts.

My advice is to go by the published reporting
period schedule, not by Marvin.  Recently work
was done to consolidate some of Marvin's features
into a single script, and that seemingly has an
off-by-one error wrt the incubator schedule.

We'll try to get it fixed before the next batch
of reminders goes out.  Thanks for the patience.

Konu: [PROPOSAL] Apache DeltaSpike - CDI-Extensions project
 
Hi!

JBoss, The Apache MyFaces CODI team and CDISource would like to propose the 
Apache DeltaSpike project to the Incubator.

We have added the initial proposal to the Wiki[1] and its content is also 
included
below for convenience.
There are already a few people who expressed interest in contributing 
additional CDI Extensions and would like to join this effort. Of course, we are 
thankful for every helping hand!


We are looking forward to feedback and/or questions on the proposal. 

We already have five mentors, but would very much welcome
additional volunteers to help steer Apache DeltaSpike through the incubation
process. 


LieGrue,
strub


[1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/DeltaSpikeProposal



Apache DeltaSpike Proposal
==



Abstract


Apache DeltaSpike is a collection of JSR-299 (CDI) Extensions for building 
applications on the Java SE and EE platforms. 

Proposal


Apache DeltaSpike will consist of a number of portable CDI extensions 
that  provide 
useful features for Java application developers. The goal of  Apache DeltaSpike 
is to create a de-facto standard of extensions that is  developed and 
maintained by the Java community, and to act as an  incubator for 
features that may eventually become part of the various  Java SE and 
EE-related specifications. 

Background


One  of the 
most exciting inclusions of the Java EE6 specification is  JSR-299, 
Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) for Java. CDI builds on  other 
Java EE specifications by defining a contextual component model  and 
typesafe dependency injection framework for managed beans.  It also  
defines a SPI that allows developers to write portable “extensions” that can be 
used to modify the behaviour of the Java EE platform, by  
offering additional features not provided by the platform by default. 
Apache DeltaSpike builds on this portable extensions SPI by providing 
baseline  utilities and CDI Extensions which form the base of almost all 
CDI  applications. 

Rationale


There  presently exists a number of open source projects that 
provide  extensions for CDI, such as Apache MyFaces CODI, JBoss Seam3 
and  CDISource.  Apache DeltaSpike seeks to unify these efforts by creating  an 
“industry standard” set of extensions, combining the best core  features of 
these projects. The 
project also aims to provide a rich,  JBoss Arquillian based (license: 
ALv2), test environment to ensure that DeltaSpike portably runs in all 
important CDI environments. 

Initial Goals


The initial goals of the Apache DeltaSpike project are to: 
* Setup the governance structure of the project 
* Receive code donations from contributing members 
* Ensure all donated code is appropriately licensed under the Apache 
License 
* Merge and rename code to reflect new project name 
* Merge code where feature overlap exists 
* Merge or produce documentation for all modules 
* Provide simple examples demonstrating feature usage 
* Produce release/s based on a schedule created by the PMC 
* Attract contributions from the greater Java EE community and other Java 
EE development groups 

Current Status


The  initial codebase for Apache DeltaSpike will be populated with mature  code 
donations from project members, including JBoss Seam3, Apache MyFaces CODI and 
CDISource. 

Meritocracy


All  
contributors have a well established history in the open source  
community and are well aware of the meritocracy principles of the Apache 
Software Foundation. 
Currently the Seam3 project is fortunate to receive the majority of its code  
contributions from its large community of users.  Many of the modules  
that are contained in the Seam project are led by volunteers from the  
community, who have both direct commit access, and discretion over the  
direction of their modules. 
Apache MyFaces CODI is a subproject of Apache MyFaces and thus 
all  contributors are already familiar with the meritocracy principles. 
The CDISource project has adopted the principles of meritocracy by the  
founding developers having control of different modules depending on  
their contribution to those modules. 

Community


The  JBoss Seam, Apache MyFaces CODI and CDISource projects already have  well 
established communities, consisting of many active users 
and  contributors.  One of the primary 
goals of the Apache DeltaSpike project  is to unify this community, and by 
creating a project that is a “single  source of truth” for CDI Extensions.  By 
doing this, we hope 
to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts,  i.e. to 
attract a much stronger

Re: Feedback on updated NOTICE and LICENSE files (was: [VOTE] Release Kafka 0.7.0-incubating)

2011-12-01 Thread Neha Narkhede
 As it stands, either the NOTICE file is wrong, or the LICENSE file is
wrong, because the NOTICE file should not mention 3rd party products
that are not in the LICENSE file.

Thanks for the feedback! As I have already mentioned, we are tracking a bug
to fix all non-blocker changes to the NOTICE file for the next release.
I will include this feedback there.

Correct me if I understood the long discussions on this list, but I don't
think this blocks the current release.

 Add a header line before the additional licenses to say what they are
for.

We have the header for MIT and Nunit license. Didn't include it for the
SCALA license for a project that is written in scala. Also didn't include
it for the Apache license for an Apache incubator project.

Hope that sounds reasonable.

Thanks,
Neha

  and LICENSE files for Kafka, before we post a new vote for it.
 
  http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/NOTICE

 There are spurious === lines at the top of the file; these must be
 removed.

  http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/LICENSE

 All license for 3rd party products should be present in the LICENSE file.
 If the identical license is shared between several products, there's
 only need to add it once.
 Add a header line before the additional licenses to say what they are for.

 For example:
 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/LICENSE

 For 3rd party products under AL 2.0, add a list at the end of the AL
 license text, before any other licenses.

 As it stands, either the NOTICE file is wrong, or the LICENSE file is
 wrong, because the NOTICE file should not mention 3rd party products
 that are not in the LICENSE file.

 And neither should mention code that is not actually included in the
 release artifacts.

  The previous vote thread or release artifacts are here -
 
 http://apache.markmail.org/message/hntuhwkbazwlfdoe?q=Kafka+list:org.apache.incubator.general
 
  We would appreciate it if you can please take the time to review this
 now,
  since we would like to ensure a smoother vote this time around.
 
  Thanks,
  Neha

The September 2011 report was not signed off.  Could one of you review
the current December report and sign off on it?  Thanks!

 Dear podling,

 This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator 
 PMC.
 It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly
 board report.

 The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 21 December 2011, 10:00:00 PST. The 
 report
 for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator 
 PMC
 requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to 
 allow
 sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Dec 7th).

 Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and
 subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you
 should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.

 Thanks,

 The Apache Incubator PMC

 Submitting your Report
 --

 Your report should contain the following:

  * Your project name
  * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the 
 project
   or necessarily of its field
  * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
   graduation.
  * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware 
 of
  * How has the community developed since the last report
  * How has the project developed since the last report.

 This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:

  http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/2011

 Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page 
 is
      created from a template.

 Mentors
 ---
 Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the
 Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the
 project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC.

 Thanks for the feedback! As I have already mentioned, we are tracking a bug
 to fix all non-blocker changes to the NOTICE file for the next release.
 I will include this feedback there.
 
 Correct me if I understood the long discussions on this list, but I don't
 think this blocks the current release.

My point would be that it's very likely that your LICENSE file is incorrect 
(i.e. it is missing necessary license information).

So far, the only LICENSE file changes that have been made are the explicit 
issues that have been pointed out to you. I think the Kafka community needs to 
review all of their artifacts and make sure that their licenses/notices are 
accurately documented in the LICENSE (and NOTICE). I don't see any evidence 
that the community has attempted to do this.

This is perhaps an area where the incubator needs more caution before best 
practice turns into a rule. You can call it guidance rather than best 
practices, but I think you'll just say that's the same thing.

I do agree with your statements though

Does Apache has tools (like rat) to extract all the needed license? Digging

You only need to establish the license for direct dependencies, but

The podling only has to do this once for each dependency.

Re: Feedback on updated NOTICE and LICENSE files (was: [VOTE] Release Kafka 0.7.0-incubating)

2011-12-01 Thread Jakob Homan
Kevan-
   You appear to have generated your list of jars from looking at
kafka-0.7.0-incubating.tar.gz, the binary distribution that has been
built as a customary courtesy as part of the release attempt.  This
includes quite a few jars that are not included in the source tree
since binary distributions do include transitive dependencies.  Are
you saying that entries need to be included in NOTICE and LICENSE for
jars/dlls that are included in binary releases?  A quick check shows
that neither Hadoop, nor HBase. nor Whirr (recently with a an
incubator release) do not do this.

If the answer is yes, then it looks like everyone (from my quick
sample) is out of compliance.  If the answer is no, then it looks like
the only libraries that need to be included are those that are
checkedin/included-in-a-source release, which is on the order of 17,
but can be decreased down to four or five if Hadoop is brought in via
sbt/maven.

Thanks,
Jakob
