Matthias Bläsing commented on NETBEANS-1818:
--------------------------------------------
_standard-nbm-license.txt_ is the default license file, that applies to
generated nbms. The build system for netbeans modules overrides it with a
generated license file, that also correctly reflects bundled libraries/other
licenses in the code. To no rework the whole build system the file should be
replaced with the plain ALv2.

> Key: NETBEANS-1818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1818
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: Next
> Reporter: Matthias Bläsing
> Assignee: Matthias Bläsing
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: license
>
> 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}
