I have included a NOTICE in the 0.9.0-incubating RC5 but now I think this was not needed. AFAIU the NOTICE and LICENSE files are for notes and licenses for artifacts included in our source distribution, e.g. a JavaScript lib. But iCal4j is not redistributed as part of our source release. Binary dependencies downloaded by Maven do not count here. Therefore, there is no need to include a notice. What is missing in the ASF process is a standard separate file that lists all used binary dependencies. We use the DEPENDENCIES-BY-LICENSE file for this. Many people seem to use the NOTICE and LICENSE file for this, but this seems to be wrong. I only have this link [1] at the moment for my theory but I would really like to understand this. I'll keep searching ;) [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg34292.html Best, - Fabian -- Fabian http://twitter.com/fctwitt
