Thanks for the response...I have another question related to the same file idl.g (grammar file from antlr). There is a header portion in that file which we added & which should be apache licensed but the rest is under the antlr license. Should I stick in the apache license header & the antlr license in that file? *********** Portion that we added ******************* header { package org.apache.yoko.tools.processors.idl; import java.io.*; import java.util.Vector; import java.util.Hashtable; } *****************************************************
No -- I wouldn't both with any licensing statement for such a small piece of code that would generally be considered to have very little creative expression in it, if any.
Antlr license: http://www.antlr.org/license.html (we are using antlr 2 license).
And since the license for the rest of the file does not require to not any changes to the original distribution (as the Apache License requires), you aren't required to make any notation around that change. Cliff

The license header should not be placed in files that are not contributed directly to the ASF by the author/copyright owner/owner's agent. We call such files that are not directly submitted to the ASF, "third-party works". We should never alter or add anything to the copyright or licensing statements for such third-party works. You are right to reference such third-party licenses in the LICENSE file. You are only required to reference them in the NOTICE file if the third-party work requires some form of attribution when the work is distributed. HTH.
