Hi, I created a PR, that might be controversial, so this is a heads-up so that anyone, that want can speak up. I ran
ant verify-all-libs-and-licenses and I did not like the output. Some things stood out: - there were several badly formatted license files - and there are dependencies on unacceptable licenses The first step: Cleanup as much as possible from a licensing perspective and the second step is to ensure problem can be easily spotted. The first step will most probably be easily agreeable. The second is the reason I decided to place it on the dev mailing list. We removed several modules from the build, but they are still spread through the codebase. Instead of leaving them at their old place, I gathered them into a new contrib directory. That way they are easily identifiable. This is the PR: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1251 Moving a module to contrib does not need to be the end of the module. If someone cleans it up, it can be moved back to the regularly build modules anytime. Please speak up if you disagree with the PR.
