Since this is nbpython source code and not binary I’m guessing not advisable to use the source without further coordination or not at all.
I’ve not looked at every file but some files have Oracle markings mentioned earlier and some don’t (for that matter many have no headers or include the obligatory placeholder link to setup one). So assume if it has Oracle, I should definitely not use it…if there are no markings are those usable? There is reference to the nbbuild/license folder/files which aren’t present in the contrib repo context that I saw; assume it was expecting the contrib folder would be present with the baseline Netbeans codebase combined but that’s just a guess or the contrib folder was extracted to separate it out. So in the end, it sounding like it may be better to not reuse the nbpython code and recreate a lot of stuff is that the consensus?
