matthiasblaesing opened a new pull request #1057: [Netbeans-1818] Fix/remove 
license files
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/1057
 
 
   In the vote process for NetBeans 10 it was noticed, that several 
license/license like files
   were found, that have wrong license information. There are two content 
commits (the
   first and third) - these are addressing the issue itself:
   
   For ./platform/o.n.core/licenses/:
   
   - The DISTRIBUTION.txt file can be removed unconditionally, as we (as in 
Apache NetBeans) will never distribute JavaHelp with the license term written 
there.
   - The THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt can be removed, as the referenced library 
is not part of the codebase anymore and is also unnecessary (beginning with 
Java 6). See here: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqFormSwingLayoutLibrary
   - The LICENSE.txt file seems to be unused, no reference was identified to it
   
   _standard-nbm-license.txt_ is the default license file, that applies to 
generated nbms. The build system for netbeans modules overrides it with a 
generated license file, that also correctly reflects bundled libraries/other 
licenses in the code. To not rework the whole build system the file should be 
replaced with the plain ALv2.
   
   The second commit fixes the unittests in `nbbuild`. These suffered from 
bitrot, as changes in modules and the directory layout were not transferred to 
the unittests. The fixes were done to be able to run unittests before and after 
the changes done for the fix.
