Robert Greig commented on QPID-1546:
------------------------------------
I have just checked and the .NET client vsproj files are similarly broken.
The guidelines state "A file without any degree of creativity in either its
literal elements or its structure is not protected by copyright law; therefore,
such a file does not require a license header.". I would argue that a visual
studio project file has no creativity in it and therefore shouldn't require the
apache licence.
If we get agreement on this I'll commit fixes to the .NET project files too
under the existing Jira for that issue.

> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client
> Affects Versions: M4
> Environment: Windows Visual Studio 2008
> Reporter: Steve Huston
> Assignee: Steve Huston
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: M4

> The Visual Studio project files for the C++ build had some licensing inserted
> and the line endings changed to Unix. These made them unusable by Visual
> Studio, so they won't load. I can change the line endings to DOS easily
> enough, but does the Apache license have to be included in the project files
> (*.vcproj)? If so, can it go further down the file (right now it's right at
> the top and Visual Studio screams about it).
> I'll fix these things Monday 22-Dec-08 if I can get clarification about the
> license placement.
