Hi all, Let me start with IANAL :) At the ASF, the root directory of each project has a NOTICE file (same directory as the LICENSE) file. This file is for collecting copyright, attribution etc. and per the Apache License 2.0 (Section 4.d) [1] requires those who create derivative works using our code to carry those along as well. Please see the following examples. https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/NOTICE?view=log https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/axis/axis2/java/core/trunk/NOTICE.txt?view=log https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/geronimo/server/trunk/NOTICE?view=log Do we have a mechanism that serves the same purpose? Should we adopt this practice? thanks, dims [1] http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html
