Matthias Bläsing commented on NETBEANS-1820:
--------------------------------------------

I'm not subscribed there. The images have clear license info now(see link 
above). When netbeans rat report is created, there is a secondary file: 
nbbuild/build/rat-appendix.txt, this summarises the license info for special 
cases.

My gut feeling is still, that the ASF is a bad fit for the netbeans IDE. There 
is a heap of license conflicts, as core libraries of the java platform are 
either GPLv2-only or GPLv2-CPE and Oracle did nothing to address the conflict. 
There is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-336, which may clear some 
thinks up. Quite frankly a LibreBeans project sounds tempting.
