Description
The https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/blob/a7c4259fd94312afcaccc80d99b41a2ef85e256a/NOTICE-binary#L286 file mentions that jboss-logging (LGPL-2.1) is an optional dependency; I think possibly from the Netty licensing and may not even be true for Pinot.
JBoss Logging relicensed to Apache-2.0 in 2012 ( https://github.com/jboss-logging/jboss-logging/commit/b37e4ac4df7fbff33d5855a4c3944fe3bc634bb1 ) so I suspect that this is a licensing flag on the project that could be fixed if someone with a bit more project knowledge is able to do some research.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with NOTICE-binary at line 286 and compare its jboss-logging entry with the project's current dependency and licensing information. Verify whether jboss-logging is an optional Pinot dependency or only appears through Netty, and confirm its applicable license using the referenced upstream change. Done means the notice accurately reflects the dependency and license status.
