Which one should I use? And should one/either of them be more standardised?
My feeling is that the one listed in the Java source file (below) looks nicer than the one in LICENSE.txt, and recommend that:
1) I use the format as from Handle.java
2) We update LICENSE.txt in the specs/j2ee directory to conform to the same style.
Can someone let me know which I should do?
Also, I'm going to have a JAR of the JavaMail APIs (about 150k zipped) to go in. Would it be better to mail to someone personally than the whole group? This list eats enough bandwidth as it is :-)
There's a LICENSE.txt file in modules/spec/j2ee which looks like:
--- 8< --- LICENSE.txt
