Hi Yegor,

I had to ask. I've seen a Jakarta beta do it differently, but we are a huge project compared to that.

So, OK. Let's make sure that we get these issues resolved next week - then at least the nightly builds will have all the details properly marked.

(1) A really, really proper NOTICE and LICENSE.
(2) All copyright statements in the project properly checked and adjusted.
(3) All source files with the proper license statement in them.

Do we have any other copyrights in the code other than one we had the author re-license?
./resources/scratchpad/org/apache/poi/hdgf/chunks_parse_cmds.tbl
3:# Copyright (C) 2006-2007     Valek Filippov ([email protected])

Regards,
Dave

RAT has a way to do it. Take a look at

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/rat/main/trunk/rat/rat-core/src/main/java/org/apache/rat/analysis/license/ApacheSoftwareLicense20.java

It only does a minimal check. A full check could be done.

I did a find/grep search on copyright.

There are a few files that show copyright for The POI Project and not the ASF. These are mostly documentation files. They could be quickly fixed as well.

Should we repackage this release with these license and copyright fixes along with a better NOTICE?
I don't think we should re-package this release as it will require another round of evaluation / voting. Jukka is going to propose an improved version of the LICENCE but it will be not earlier than weekend. Current issues are OK for a beta and I would rather not delay this release because of them.
