They are not disallowed but discouraged, since over time they get outdated and pretty much useless. Therefore we decided to not use them and remove them as we encounter them. > On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 9:12 AM, Marcel Reutegger > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> the sources contain a copy right notice in the license header. >> wouldn't it be easier to have that in a notice file and instead use >> the standard apache license header? there are also @author tags in >> javadoc, which is contrary to our policy... Definitely, as soon as the code is part of Jackrabbit (which is the time it is stored in the SVN) it belongs to the ASF and nobody but the ASF holds the copyright. As a consequence I would even go as far as say, this line must be removed. Finally, I agree with Jukka, that we should properly do the IP clearance path, even though Florent may have discussed everything here. The code was really developped outside of Apache (we don't care for reasons, really) and should now undergo proper clearance.
