| <p>The target of this document is to provide an overview and guidance how the Apache Cassandra project’s source code and |
| artifacts maintain compliance with the <cite>ASF Licensing policy <http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#licensing></cite>.</p> |
| <p>The repository contains a LICENSE file, and a NOTICE file.</p> |
| <p>The Apache Cassandra project enforces and verifies ASF License header conformance on all source files using the Apache RAT tool.</p> |
| <p>With a few exceptions, source files consisting of works submitted directly to the ASF by the copyright owner or owner’s |
| agent must contain the appropriate ASF license header. Files without any degree of creativity don’t require a license header.</p> |
| <p>Currently, RAT checks all .bat, .btm, .cql, .css, .g, .hmtl, .iml, .java, .jflex, .jks, .md, .mod, .name, .pom, .py, .sh, .spec, .textile, .yml, .yaml, .xml files for a LICENSE header.</p> |
| <p>If there is an incompliance, the build will fail with the following warning:</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <div>Some files have missing or incorrect license information. Check RAT report in build/rat.txt for more details!</div></blockquote> |
