> Clarify the status of donated files from ApacheNetBeansDonation1.zip
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> 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.
> [1] in svn under private/documents/grants/oracle-america-netbeans.pdf , ASF
