Reminding about missing "notices" for modifications on original work (violation of APACHE-2.0)
Hello,
[Modification terms and conditions in license] The original work should be honored while the modifications on it should be attached with prominent notices as the license APACHE-2.0 dictates. Your project is a forking project from tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi which adopts APACHE-2.0 as its project license.
The modification terms and conditions of APACHE-2.0 dictate that:
Therefore, we think the project is obligated to abide by the modification terms and conditions in APACHE-2.0.
[Violation of modification terms and conditions] We run through your history, and it turns out that you have conducted modifications to the source files of original work while didn't provide prominent notices.
You have 348 commits which conduct modifications to the original work, 1 of which are declared in README.md while 347 of which are not.
According to the license terms and conditions above, it is regarded as license violation.
Thus, to avoid potential legal risks, I would suggest you carry out prominent notices for the 347 commits.
[Recommended Fix] There are 2 recommended solutions to fulfill the modification related obligation of APACHE-2.0:
Git Mechanism.
Changelog Text.
Or add changelog for modification to comply with the license.
For your convenience, I created a PR with by picking up modification-related commit messages. It adds a few lines in changelog without touching the codebase. Please be comfortable to check it out.
Full details of the report you could refer to the html file attached.
Hope it helps!
If there is anything wrong in this reminding, I'm sorry for my bothering, and please feel free to close this PR.
Cheers!
