[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1752?page=comments#action_12431713 ] Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-1752: ----------------------------------------------
The header text in http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#header-text is clearly designed for source header files, look at the title of the page and sub-sections and the wording of the header. I don't think that page is meant to cover introductions to Apache software that state it is being released under the ALv2. The copyright notice covering the collected works is just a copy of the copyright notice from the NOTICE file which is covered here http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice Note there is no requirement to have these lines in the oveview file since the licence itself is defined in the LICENCE file, I just thought they were helpful and clarifying when I created this overview: "Apache Derby is an open source subproject of the Apache DB project, licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0." Note also the meaning of the lines above "the whole project is released under ALv2", the lines you replace them with (from the source header) mean "this file is released under ALv2". Note I have the same concern about the new copyright pages in the documentation, the same source header is used, when a simple statement of it's released under the ALv2 seems to be more appropriate. > Fix javadoc to account for changes required by new licence header policy. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1752 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1752 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner > Assigned To: Andrew McIntyre > Fix For: 10.3.0.0, 10.2.2.0 > > Attachments: derby-1752-v1.diff > > > The published javadoc creates a copyright with the old copyright statement, > should be replaced with the collected works copyright,. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
