All distributions (source and binary) need to include NOTICE file

• Key: JDO-386
• Type: Bug
• Status: Resolved
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Major
• Assignee: Michael Bouschen
• Reporter: Craig Russell
• Component/s: api2, tck2
• Affects Version/s: JDO 2 final
• Fix Version/s: JDO 2 maintenance release 1

Description

The distributions need to include a NOTICE file in the same directory as the LICENSE file. Both the source and binary distributions need this file.

For details, see http://www.apache.org/dev/apply-license.html#new summarized as follows:

"A NOTICE file should be included in the same directory as the LICENSE file. The NOTICE should include only those attribution notices that are required by any part of the entire distribution. For Apache projects and those redistributing ASF software, the NOTICE file must contain the sentence:

   This product includes software developed by
   The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).
The license is applied to each source file (code and documentation, but excluding the LICENSE and NOTICE files) by including a short copyright notice at the top, as demonstrated by the boilerplate notice provided in the appendix."

I've filed this under tck20 and api20 but it applies to all Apache distributions.
