Comparing that with what's written here: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#headers suggests that it's wrong, but it looks to me like that RAT code may be looking for something that *used* to be considered correct, and therefore probably exists in a lot of places. Note that the RAT source you're referring to is itself old, and has been replaced by what's in the Incubator. The project page for it clearly states "This project is being retained only for history purposes.". We need to be using what's in the Incubator, not what's known to be obsolete. -- Martin Cooper > I don't know if it's a correct header, so then should we use rat plugin? > >> You might want to check with the RAT folks (via their own mailing >> list) to see if there's actually a problem here or not. > > Thanks, I will try but since the project is in Incubator and Struts is > using Codehause version it can be hard ;-) > > [1] > http://code.google.com/p/arat/source/browse/trunk/rat/src/java/rat/analysis/license/ApacheSoftwareLicense20.java > > > Regards > -- > Łukasz > + 48 606 323 122 http://www.lenart.org.pl/ > Kapituła Javarsovia 2010 http://javarsovia.pl > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@struts.apache.org
