Hi, after carefully reading the ASF docs and following discussions on the general list, I have revised the NOTICE and LICENSE file for the 0.9.0-incubating release.
According to [1,2] we have misused the NOTICE file in RC5 because it should only contain notices that are required by licenses of artifacts that we include. The classical example is a required notice if you include an artifact that has the 4-clause BSD license. In our case, I don't see that we have to add any notice. [1] http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#required-third-party-notices [2] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/201203.mbox/%3CCAAS6%3D7gKtfcGh0_Yd9Qrxp2a1M6HtPaZMqiTq5tQHC0BDVZwEA%40mail.gmail.com%3E So I will move the content of our NOTICE files to the LICENSE files as I think that's the place they belong. The LICENSE file should mention the licenses of included artifacts. In our case this is the case for included JavaScript libs for example. The DEPENDENCIES-BY-LICENSE file is our documentation for used third party deps during build. These deps are not part of the release tar ball itself. Therefore, this information is not part of NOTICE or LICENSE files of the source release. The AL20 license does not require to have any file that documents build dependencies. So the DEPENDENCIES-BY-LICENSE file is merely for the project to internally ensure to not have incompatible dependencies. - Fabian Am 28.
