My main point is that I assumed that nbbuild/licenses files are licenses of license *variants*.
For example, if we see a variation of MIT that has one extra clause we invent some MIT-example file with the clause. So, the files is nbbuild/licenses are not about authors but about plain licenses and variations we see in the wild. Basically, taxonomy. All the talk about ant tasks is just derived from talking about those files, I wasn't concerned with that at all initially until you mentioned we use them. --emi ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 18 June 2018 11:00 PM, Matthias Bläsing <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Emilian, > > Am Sonntag, den 17.06.2018, 15:24 -0400 schrieb Emilian Bold: > > > 1.
