Hi Mike,

I checkout out the code from fluint.googlecode.com.  An examination of the
logs indicates that Xavi contributed files in FlexUnit4CIRunner as well as
FlexUnit4UIRunner.  Does that match your understanding?  Were those files
brought into GitHub?

I also see he made a small change to some other files in other folders,
but I don't think that needs to be worried about at this point.  Did any
Adobe folks contribute any new files once you were in GitHub?

In my understanding it doesn't matter whether there are Adobe copyright
files in FlexUnit as far as releasing FlexUnit because those files are
under BSD.  It just means that we have to preserve the Adobe headers in
those files and document which files are Adobe in the License and the IP
Clearance form and maybe make a note in the Software Grant.

At some point, I will get those files donated, including FlexUnitLib so we
can change headers and make life a bit easier.  But my understanding is
that isn't a priority.  It won't block making a release.

So, after we get your answer about FlexUnit4CIRunner, I think we will be
able to build a list of files that need to have the Adobe copyright.  Can
you grep the GitHub repo and see if you see any other Adobe copyrights and
headers?

I do not have a way to see the Software Grants, but in poking at history
in GitHub, it looks like there were many contributions from blegros.  Was
he on work-for-hire by DP?  Did he co-sign the grant or otherwise give
permission for his work to be donated?

Other than that, we still have to get an answer from the Incubator on how
to deal with the IP Clearance form.  Meanwhile, someone can make sure that
Apache's flex-flexunit repo has Adobe headers on the files in that list.
Then once that's all done we can vote on a release.

FWIW, I did get FlexUnit4CIRunner to work with FlexJS and Ant so I don't
have any blocking technical issues with the RC Justin made.
