Hi Dave,
Sorry for belated answer.
I think the jcip license text should be merged into the existing
-license.txt file. Also the "License: " tag should probably be changed to
something else than "New BSD" (e.g. "BSD+jcip"). Even if though this is
probably not ever going to be used.
For notice - I suspect we will need different notices, one at the top level
of the repository for things that are in the repository (which this is not),
and a different one for binary builds (where the notice should contain exactly
what is in the binary, not more, not less, in other words, this will probably
differ between the platform and the Java IDE). And there needs to be enough
data to construct such notices automatically, I don't think it is realistic to
maintain them manually. Hence the request to add -notice.txt to external
binaries if needed, so the build will be able to pick them up if needed. But it
is not quite clear to me if anything like that is needed for this library.
> Clarify the status of donated files from ApacheNetBeansDonation1.zip

> 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.
