   I've been told to switch the destination branch to `master`: done in d4a1f67
   
   How shall we move on?
   
   I believe the NetBeans IDE ZIP (& the installers) can be considered 
executable. The JavaFX NBMs still contain only the ".external" file - e..g. we 
don't distribute the GPLv2CPEx bits in the NBMs. Only in the ZIP - a case that 
the GPLv2CPEx explicitly allows and gives us permission to label the whole 
ZIP/Installers/Executables with Apache license.
   
   Do we need to do more? Based on RMS's "printer story" I believe it is 
essential for any user of NetBeans to be able to fix a bug in GPLv2CPEx Apache 
NetBeans libraries ownself and use the patch for him and/or others. In the case 
of JavaFX it is trivial - the source is on Maven central next to the libraries.
