Hi Dan!

Are you ready for the next iteration? ;)

I fear I have to vote 

-1 

on the release.

I'm only looking at the sources distribution.zip since this is the only 
official thing an Apache Software release contains (all other binaries are just 
nice goodies, but not part of the official release).
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheisis-042/org/apache/isis/isis/0.1.2-RC3-incubating/


1.) The source zip contains a file apache-rat-0.8-SNAPSHOT.jar. This is nothing 
which belongs to our source release.
I've also deleted it from our SVN repo.

The other parts look pretty good so far!

* key is fine
* sha1 is ok
* md5 is ok
* rat passes
* check on a few random samples for *.properties, pom.xml, *.java all had valid 
ALv2 headers
* LICENSE file is ok


A few parts are not 100% ok yet:

NOTICE file is ok _IF_ we only ship ALv2 licensed dependencies or category A 
licenses as noted in [1].

IF we ship differently licensed jar dependencies in our binary distribution or 
samples or 'shade' them into an own private package within isis, then we must 
imo also mention those licenses in our NOTICE files. 
If we only reference those deps via maven, then not.

Those are the following files:

org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:jar -> BSD
javax.mail -> CDDL
asm -> BSD
jmock -> BSD style
dom4j -> MetaStuff license (BSD style)
org.owasp.esapi:esapi -> BSD
json -> JSON license (BSD style)

org.htmlparser -> CPL-1.0. This worries me a bit, since it falls under the 
category B (reciprocal) As far as I interpret the cat B section, we must add 
this to our NOTICE file, isn't?

xom:xom -> LGPL -> BLOCKER this is a catX license which we must not depend 
upon! This seems to come as transitive dependency from org.owasp.esapi:esapi. 
Can we exclude xom:xom without breaking functionality?

There are also a few javax.* dependencies from the java.net repo. Usually those 
packages are CDDL, thus we should replace them with packages from 
geronimo-specs [2]

You can easily check the dependencies yourself too with
$> mvn dependency:list


LieGrue,
strub

PS: sorry that you have to do a release run once again, but if it helps: doing 
a proper review is not much less work :D
