two clarifying notes ... The thread for the new policy starts at [1]. It moves only the ASF copyright to the NOTICE file [2]. Users interested in this change wrt to DERBY can track DERBY-1377 [3]. The derby NOTICE file [4] already references the IBM contribution, which ties back into Dan's point (I hope). -jean [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200606.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [2] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200606.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [3] http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1377 [4] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/NOTICE
