Well, that was very effective! My concern was that sample code should not trigger any licensing thoughts. In that light Apache or BSD doesn't matter.
Since it's designed to be used as a starting point it should be Public Domain. Of course, everybody treats sample code as Public Domain, but that's another matter. --emi On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 10:58 PM, Geertjan Wielenga <[email protected]> wrote: > OK, done, including references in various supporting files, and did a build > and run to check everything still works and resolved the issue: > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-62 > > Gj > > On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 2:02 PM, Geertjan Wielenga < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Those specific files, i.e., the samples relating to the NetBeans Platform >> (FeedReader, PaintApp, OSGIDemo and maybe another one or two) should simply >> be deleted, they're old and out of date and it would simplify things simply >> not having them. >> >> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-62 >> >> I'm planning to delete them today. >> >> Gj >> >> On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 9:27 AM, Bertrand Delacretaz < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 9:58 AM, Emilian Bold <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> >> ...some files in the repository (typically samples) are using 3-clause >>> (if I get that correctly) BSD license... >>> >>> If those files have been donated to Apache they can be relicensed, and >>> IMO they should, in order to simplify things. >>> >>> -Bertrand >>> >> >>
