## License management
[All Apache projects are required to provide the `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files](https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html).
This document explains how we manage the license of Druid and the libraries that Druid uses.
When we do a new release, we distribute 2 packages, i.e., source code package and binary package. Since the binary package
includes not only Druid itself but also all the dependencies of Druid, its `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files should cover those dependencies as well.
As a result, the contents of those files are different and managed separately for source code and binary packages.
Please read the sections below to understand how we manage the licenses and what to update when you want to add new dependencies.
### Licenses for source code packages
The licenses for source code packages are maintained _manually_ in [the `LICENSE` file](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/LICENSE).
The notices can be found in [the `NOTICE` file`](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/NOTICE) similarly.
### Licenses for binary packages
The licenses for binary packages are maintained _automatically_.
All licenses (for both source code and binary releases) should be registered in [the `licenses.yaml` file](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/licenses.yaml).
[`generate-binary-license.py`](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/distribution/bin/generate-binary-license.py)
and [`generate-binary-notice.py`](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/distribution/bin/generate-binary-notice.py)
will generate the `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files automatially based on the registry.
### Adding licenses
#### When you adopt source codes from other projects into Druid
This requires you to update the license and notice for both source code and binary packages.
First, you should add a new entry in the [`LICENSE`]((https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/LICENSE)) for the dependency you are adding.
For example, [the `CalciteCnfHelper` class](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/processing/src/main/java/org/apache/druid/segment/filter/cnf/CalciteCnfHelper.java)
is adopted from Apache Calcite. This requires adding the following entries in the `LICENSE` file.
```
SOURCE/JAVA-CORE
This product contains SQL query planning code adapted from Apache Calcite.
* processing/src/main/java/org/apache/druid/segment/filter/cnf/CalciteCnfHelper.java
```
If the project provides its own notice, the contents of the notice should be included in the `NOTICE` file of Druid.
> **NOTE:** Most projects don't provide notice. If you are not sure whether you need to add a notice, then you probably
> don't have to unless the dependency you are adding is an Apache project.
Going back to the example of Apache Calcite, since all Apache projects provide the `NOTICE` file, you should add the
following in the [`NOTICE`](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/NOTICE) file.
```
############ SOURCE/JAVA-CORE ############
================= Apache Calcite 1.10.0 =================
Apache Calcite
Copyright 2012-2016 The Apache Software Foundation
This product is based on source code originally developed
by DynamoBI Corporation, LucidEra Inc., SQLstream Inc. and others
under the auspices of the Eigenbase Foundation
and released as the LucidDB project.
```
Second, you also need to add a new entry in [the `licenses.yaml` file](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/licenses.yaml)
as below.
```yaml
name: SQL query planning code adapted from Apache Calcite
license_category: source
module: java-core
license_name: Apache License version 2.0
source_paths:
- processing/src/main/java/org/apache/druid/segment/filter/cnf/CalciteCnfHelper.java
```
#### When you add a new library dependency into Druid
This requires you to update the [the `licenses.yaml` file](https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/licenses.yaml).
For example, to add `aws-java-sdk-core` as a new depdency, you need to add the following entry.
```yaml
name: AWS SDK for Java
license_category: binary
module: java-core
license_name: Apache License version 2.0
version: 1.11.199
libraries:
- com.amazonaws: aws-java-sdk-core
notice: |

### Updating licenses
When you update the version of existing dependencies, you need to update the version not only in the `pom.xml` file but
also in the `licenses.yaml` file.
