One other small issue - the 2.2.3 release currently being voted on doesn’t 
include the INRIA license in its LICENSE file.

One could argue that we should cancel that vote and spin another release 
candidate.  However, I’ll argue that we can leave the fix until the next 
release…

- The INRIA license itself is embedded into the source file for 
‘AbstractDependencyVisitor’.  Hence it is technically distributed with the 
source distribution (as opposed to the normal source files that simply 
reference the Apache License contained in LICENSE)
- http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html says “...Apache releases should 
contain a copy of each license, usually contained in the LICENSE document….”.  
Not ‘should’ and not ‘must’.
- The likelihood of any issue arising from our use of an example file for its 
intended purpose seems pretty remote.

Cheers,

Greg Trasuk
