LICENSE file in .jar #81

Closed ajorg-aws closed 4 years ago

Hello, We've seen a problem a few times where our systems are unable to detect the LICENSE file in the .jar files for these packages because instead of actually containing the Apache-2.0 license file and a separate NOTICE file it contains only the following, which our tools aren't able to parse (without extra code, which we're also working on).

This copy of Jackson JSON processor streaming parser/generator is licensed under the
Apache (Software) License, version 2.0 ("the License").
See the License for details about distribution rights, and the
specific rights regarding derivate works.

You may obtain a copy of the License at:

http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

I wondered if your customers would be better served by including a copy of the unmodified license file (which the license itself appears to require) as LICENSE and a separate NOTICE file with your copyright statement (again as suggested by the license).

No worries if there are reasons not to do this, I just thought it would be okay to ask politely.

@ajorg-aws reasonable question, and I think this:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-annotations/pull/178

would be a step towards better interoperability?

Looks like it should, yes. Thank you!
