Hi all (and specifically, mentors),
I'd like to understand if our LICENSE and NOTICE files are fine or not.

Sebb, in the e-mail below from general@incubator ML puts some objections: it is not clear to me if such objections are matter of (his) taste of whether instead can block next release vote.

Can you help?

Thanks.
Regards.

 Hi Sebb,
 you can find my replies embedded below.

 I am going to send a [CANCEL] reply to this thread, remove Nexus staging
 repo and SVN tag, fix everything and start again the release process for
 1.0.0-RC1-incubating from scratch.

 Regards.

 I've created a 1.0.0-RC1-incubating release, with the following
 artifacts up for a vote:

 SVN source tag (r1333797):

 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/syncope/tags/syncope-1.0.0-RC1-incubating/

 There must be an Incubator DISCLAIMER.
 This is required in all distributions (and on the web-site, which has been
 done).

 Please add the DISCLAIMER file to SVN and make sure it gets added to all
 archives.


 Understood.


 The NOTICE file is very long; I suspect that not all of the entries are
 *required*.


 The LICENSE and NOTICE files were written against the parent POM: all the
 dependencies with scope != test were considered, then.

The N&L files must relate to what is actually included in the archive.


 For example, cglib is available under AL 2.0, so I don't think it needs to
 be mentioned in the NOTICE file.


 All the AL 2.0 dependencies not from ASF were added anyway to the LICENSE
 and NOTICE files; we preferred to have these two files with the same
 entries, even though for different purposes.

The NOTICE file has a specific purpose; it should *only* contain
required notices.


 The LICENSE file should mention all software included in the release.

 In both cases, the N&L files should only mention software that is actually
 included in the release.

 The LICENSE file misspells Javassist.


 Already fixed in trunk: thanks for reporting!


 Maven staging repo:
 https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachesyncope-034/

 The syncope-root POM does not use the Apache POM as parent.
 ASF product Poms should normally chain back to a version of the Apache
 pom to ensure that the correct settings are established.
 [the other poms do chain back to the Apache pom]

 If there is a good reason for not doing so, it should be documented in
 the pom, and care must be taken to ensure that the required elements
 are copied from the Apache pom.


 As you might have noticed, the root POM is not the parent POM, and parent
 POM does extend Apache POM 10.
 The root POM is only functional to perform some actions: anyway we'll try to
 make it extend Apache POM as well.

 FYI, we have already planned to "normalize" POM structure in next major
 release (see SYNCOPE-79 on JIRA)
