If you look at our project webpages (those at incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg) you see that they do all have the ALv2 stated in a comment in the <head>. That is because all of those pages are new, written in the podling, by committers. For legacy pages at www.openoffice.org, including the wiki, we cannot assume the legacy content is ALv2. It is generally under a range of licenses. But for new content, added by project committers, checked in via Subversion, I think it should be declared as ALv2. That would agree with the iCLA. > At least for our JavaScript files I could think of that it is suitable as it > is kind of code? Or also for CSS files? All webpage files? > Anything that can be copyrighted can have the ALv2 license added. But to be honest, I have not really paid attention to this for new web pages. And since the website is not included in our release, none of this gets audited. But I can see it would be a "good thing" if we did this more consistently. > Would be great to get opinions from our license gurus. :-) > > Thanks in advance. > > Marcus
