I have planned to handle a little change in the OFBiz Contributors Best
Practices page.
I think there are no other places this was mentionned.

Subject: Re: Upcoming JIRA Upgrade
An few clarifications about the removal of the license checkbox plugin:
1. Contrary to Tony's prior message, only attachments that were *not*
submitted under the Apache
license will be renamed after this upgrade.
2. According to the Apache license, contributions to Apache-licensed
projects are under the Apache license by default, so the checkbox was
only useful to specify that an attachment was *not* intended to be a
contribution.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#contributions
3. In the future, without the checkbox, one may instead add a comment
stating when an attachment is not intended for contribution.
4. Removing this plugin will make it much easier for us to keep Jira
updated to its latest version so that we can more rapidly get Jira
bugfixes deployed.

Folks,
This Friday at 8am BST (http://s.apache.org/jiraup) I will be upgrading our JIRA instance as we have fallen behind on patches a
little, lately.
The update itself will take us to the latest JIRA version, however as a consequence of this the ASF plugin license will not be
carried forward. In other words the tick box selection to grant the license will be removed, as will the review page item that
shows if someone has elected to select this option historically.
To ensure that we maintain a view on who has historically granted the license, all files that were attached with this license
granted will be renamed to have a prefix. So for example, if the original file was named 'lucene-101.diff' it will be renamed to
'ASF.LICENSE.GRANTED--lucene-101.diff'
Going forward we will not be collecting this piece of data or requiring people
to name their files in any special way.
The upgrade is expected to last a few hours if all things go well. I hope to have service restored within 4 hours, but it may
drag on if the renaming takes a long while.
Cheers,
Tony
