I am looking at updating the BlackBerry code for the Apache license and ran across a couple of things I need guidance on. Overall the code is very clean since it was for the most part completely maintained by IBM and Nitobi.
- There are a couple of instances in the code (from Playbook implementation) for a copyright of RIM. Has RIM agreed to removal of their copyright or does that need to be maintained in the source? - The StringUtils.java [1] file was apparently based on a BlackBerry knowledge base article [2] as noted in the file header. Its not clear to me whether I need to include information in the LICENSE or NOTICE file for this. - The sample project provides ant-contrib.jar which is used to build the project and includes the license (Apache 1.1) for it in the same directory. I've added the required text to the NOTICE file, and have also added the license to the top level LICENSE. - The sample project also includes a copy of Douglas Crockford's json2.js [3] which is needed on BlackBerry OS 5 devices. The file states it is in the public domain. I've added what appears to be the license to the top level LICENSE file.
