Hi,

So I took on a what I thought would be a quick and simple module to
get into this and I have a few questions:

Module: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/tree/master/o.eclipse.jgit

1.

The RAT report currently lists:

  AL    
/home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/incubator-netbeans-linux/o.eclipse.jgit/build.xml
  AL    
/home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/incubator-netbeans-linux/o.eclipse.jgit/external/binaries-list
  AL    
/home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/incubator-netbeans-linux/o.eclipse.jgit/nbproject/project.properties
  AL    
/home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/incubator-netbeans-linux/o.eclipse.jgit/nbproject/project.xml

build.xml and project.xml files are listed in a "Problems to be solved
centrally" list, so I assume I can ignore them, but in fact, all 4
files listed above have an Apache License header...

2.

There's 1 external dependency here:
B580E446B543A8DD2F5AA368B07F9C4C9C2E7029
org.eclipse.jgit-3.6.2.201501210735-r_nosignature.jar

I'm not sure about the nosignature part, but I can find[1] this
version which I guess is the same one, but when I change the
binaries-list file to use
B580E446B543A8DD2F5AA368B07F9C4C9C2E7029
org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit:3.6.2.201501210735-r

I got an error as the hash was wrong and had to change it to be:
47D59DFFB5F02470CCFB6C1A5A31B6040A1636E5
org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit:3.6.2.201501210735-r

Should I be viewing this as a potential question mark, or is it okay?

3.

Looking back at[1] it's licensed under EDL.  I assume I need to add a file:
org.eclipse.jgit-3.6.2.201501210735-r-notice.txt but I'm unsure what
to include in it/where does its content come from.
