Minor Description
Our LICENSE file must list any 3rd party software that we bundle with a Usergrid release. Currently we have a complete list, but we should list the version numbers for each component as well.
More from Justin McClean:
Minor LICENSE issues - but need to be fixed for the next version:
- Missing license for ./portal/css/entypo/entypo.* [1] it’s CC by SA See [2]
- What is the license for ./portal/js/libs/jqueryui/date.min.js and ./portal/js/libs/jqueryui/jquery.ui.timepicker.min.js. I think this has come up before.
- Missing license for blanket_mocha.min.js. looks to be MIT. [3]
- Missing license for docs/_theme/sphinx_rtd_theme/static/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg. It licensed under SIL. [4]
(NOTE: the above ^^^ items have been fixed, now we need to add version numbers)
The software versions are usually mentioned in LICENSE for permissively bundled software see [5] it would be good if you update your license to following this before graduation. [5] Apache NiFi does a good job of this [6] (although it uses the long form of the licenses where as the short form is prefered). Apache Falcon is a good example using the short form [7].
If you have any questions on how to add these to LICENSE just ask.
I notice that there an extra standard apache license in ./stack/LICENSE-2.0.txt. This can probably be removed and in fact may be missing required bundled bits from ./stack.
Do you have permission to use the file:
apache-usergrid-1.0.2-rc3-incubating/stack/rest/src/test/resources/cat-larger-than-6mb.jpg
If permission has been obtained I would of expected someone the in license file. It’s a nice cat photo and from the metadata it was taken by Mark Ahrens. A quick google search gives this:
