Matthias Bläsing commented on NETBEANS-1818: -------------------------------------------- For _./platform/o.n.core/licenses/_: * The _DISTRIBUTION.txt_ file can be removed unconditionally, as we (as in Apache NetBeans) will never distribute JavaHelp with the license term written there. * The _THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt_ can be removed, as the referenced library is not part of the codebase anymore and is also unnecessary (beginning with Java 6). See here: [http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqFormSwingLayoutLibrary] * The _LICENSE.txt_ file also looks unsed > Cleanup license files > --------------------- > > Key: NETBEANS-1818 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1818 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Matthias Bläsing > Assignee: Matthias Bläsing > Priority: Blocker > > Found in the release process of NetBeans 10: > {noformat} > I was just grep-ing for GPL and found > ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/LICENSE.txt which mentions that > > The Common Development and Distribution License > > (CDDL), Version 1.0 governs your use of: > > NetBeans Platform software > There's also ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt > with the text of GPL w/ CPE and it seems to be related to Swing Layout > Extensions which I don't believe we include anymore (or do we?). > And finally there's ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/DISTRIBUTION.txt for > JavaHelp 2.0 which we also excluded under Apache. > The whole ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/ folder should be removed. > There's also ./nbbuild/standard-nbm-license.txt with the CDDL and GPL > w/ CPE text which probably should also be deleted. > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
