https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/24
When that central decision is made, there is already at least one file that
has this change already `db/external/binaries-list`. In any case the header is
not wrong. The file is part of an apache project and was thus donated by oracle
and is now covered by the apache license. If there is a consensus, that the
license header is not needed, than it can still be left in place or at that
time centrally removed. Till then I consider each file I don't have to discuss
about a good file.

> Key: NETBEANS-54
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-54
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Attachments: categorized-1.zip, convert-headers-1.zip,
> JavaApplication9.java

>
> Reviewing the software grant [1] provided with the first NetBeans code
> donation, my understanding is that not all files found in that zip are
> donated.
> The grant indicates that the contents of that file [2] ("Code File") are
> donated "excluding any third-party and separately licensed material contained
> within the Code File".
> I don't think we can consider that code ready to release as is, due to the
> uncertainty that this creates w.r.t to which files are donated and which are
> not.
> The zip archive contains about 45'000 files.
> I see the following options:
> a) Review all files and include only those which are not "third-party and
> separately licensed material". How such files are identified needs to be
> defined and documented, either in scripts under version control or as a set
> of rules. The review process must be documented and traceable, so that we can
> go back to it if problems are found in the future.
> b) Get an updated grant which does not mention such exclusions.
> If someone sees other options please discuss here or on the NetBeans dev
> list, referencing this ticket.
