Add NOTICE file with copyright information · Issue #214 · FasterXML/jackson-annotations (original) (raw)

For a customer project an OpenSource report has to be generated. Therefore a scanner was created to extract the copyright and licence information from our dependencies. During the process, we found that no copyright information was available for this project.

Can you please add a NOTICE file which includes the copyright notice (including your details as copyright owner) and license claim from the Appendix of the Apache 2.0 License? This will make the use of the license valid and help to get applications using this module through legal review.

Your help here would be much appreciated.

From https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0:

Include a copy of the Apache License, typically in a file called LICENSE, in your work, and consider also including a NOTICE file that references the License.

To apply the Apache License to specific files in your work, attach the following boilerplate declaration, replacing the fields enclosed by brackets "[]" with your own identifying information. (Don't include the brackets!) Enclose the text in the appropriate comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that you include a file or class name and description of purpose on the same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier identification within third-party archives.
