are statically linked into the Doris binaries. Some of dependencies are optional
for Doris build.

Most of these dependencies' licenses are compatible with Apache License Version 2.0.
But serverl dependencies are under imcompatible licenses.

This file will give an interpretation of these licenses.

RapidJSON
source: https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson/

RapidJSON source code is licensed under the MIT License, except for the third-party components listed below
which are subject to different license terms. Your integration of RapidJSON into your own projects may require
compliance with the MIT License, as well as the other licenses applicable to the third-party components included
within RapidJSON. To avoid the problematic JSON license in your own projects, it's sufficient to exclude the
bin/jsonchecker/ directory, as it's the only code under the JSON license.

Doris only dependents on the source files in `include/rapidjson` directory, which are under MIT License.
