Hi Dave,
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.
Should be fixed in r747303.
(3) All source files with the proper license statement in them.
We had files with a non-standard ASF2 licence header:

I changed all of them to have the standard header just to be on the safe
side :)
Do we have any other copyrights in the code other than one we had the
author re-license?

No, I think it was the only case. I searched and didn't find any other
copyrights .
Another potential issue are our test files. Many of them were uploaded
in Bugzilla and then included in svn.
A way to identify ownership of a MS Office file is via its OLE
properties. Currently the test files are distributed "as is" and there
is no indication that these files are a part of POI. That means if a
user examines them, he sees the Author, Company and other properties in
the original form, as they were submitted to Bugzilla.
Do we have to care about them? If yes, I see two potential improvements:
- include an entry in the NOTICE covering the test files.
- programmatically insert the ASF license, for example, in the Comments
OLE property. Create an utility to audit test files before release.

Yegor
