Hi Brad,
If the file is in the branch, i.e., already in the repository, then it
has been donated and it's ok to replace the Oracle/Sun license and to
replace it with the Apache ASF license.
If a file is not in the branch, i.e., if you copy it from somewhere
else, then it is _NOT_ ok to add it directly to the branch. Please ask
us before adding it, and we may give you further instructions (depending
on the file, or the contents of the file, or to see if it's a library
already included in NetBeans, or whatever).
When in doubt please ask as many questions as you consider necessary.
Kind regards,
Antonio

Hey Matthias,
This is good information!!
A quick question. When you say "is there an indicator that the file could
not be donate", where would I look for this indication?? Would it be in the
file header itself? Maybe an external list? Anywhere else?
I ask to make sure that I'm doing a complete job at this.
Thanks.

Hi Brad,
without hasving looked Ingo the files, tge descripotion sounds normal.
Oracle donated the files they decidedbthey could as is, so with their
copyright and the GPL/CDDL license header. One oft the things to check is:
Came the file from the donation (if I remember correctly Jan did a merge
directly Form the donated ZIP, so that should be safe) and is there an
indicator that the file could not be donated. If the file could be donated,
it is correct to change the license heafderr to the ASF one.
For Sun vs. Oracle: Sun was bought by Oracle, so the ownership of the code
transfered to Oracle.

Here are several places in the C/C++ CND module an incompatible (?)
license
exists..
For example the file *cnd/cnd.dwarfdump/build.xml *has an Orace/Sun
copyright.
So I'm left kinda confused. Was this really donated by Oracle with this
copyright? If so, what should we do in these cases?
