With respect to JsUnit, it's more than a header issue. Given the license(s), I don't believe it can be bundled with XAP at all, I'm afraid.

Robert, Thanks for taking a look into this; we will fix the licensing concerns in the email. I embedded my comments into your. Xapians, let's make running the RAT tool part of our release process.

We were going to use the roller notice as a template then forgot to use it as a template. -------------- ran RAT against trunk. there seem to be a *lot* of files which lack license headers. it's important to be able to track the origins of files. all source documents in formats capable of accepting comments and of being copyrighted which are created as original contributions or which arrive as part of a software grant need the appropriate apache header. it's important to understand which files in the source tree were not donated under a software grant or a CLA. this is tough for a project like XAP which includes a lot of scripts within the source tree. i need to understand the origins of the source before i can check that the release is ok i may have some more questions later (once i've modified RAT so that it understands the licenses in XAP better) but i have a few now. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/unittests/jsunit/ seems to contain a lot of source packaged under net.jsunit without apache headers. is this imported from another open source project? -------------- This source was imported from the jsunit project but doesn't seem to have the license header in the file. We will look into this and fix the problem. -------------- http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/samples/ contains quite a few .xal files without headers. were these contributed to apache? if so, does the .xal format accept xml style comments? -------------- The .xal files are just xml documents we will add the header to these files. The intention was to have the files be contributed to apache. -------------- there are a number of javascript files in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/codebase/src/xap/ without license headers. is this code contributed to apache or third party source? -------------- Again we will add the header to these files. -------------- the headers in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/codebase/src/google/ README.txt don't match the release license. have we talked to google (greg stein, say) about obtaining some clearer source...? -------------- Not sure about this one, we need to look into this. Back in June we did have a thread on this, I will dig it up. -------------- just FYI http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/buildsystem/buildscr ipts/doctool/narcissus/ is MPL/GPL/LGPL. the proposed license policy (http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html) would prevent the inclusion of MPL'd javascript. -------------- It looks like we can't include the Narcissus files used by JSDoc in our distribution. Probably we can make it a 3rd party dependency in the short-term and modify the readme. Narcissus: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/narcissus/ -------------- http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/buildsystem/JSDoc-1. 9.9.2 lacks a lot of headers. is it generated, imported from outside source, or something else? -------------- Same as the above comment, we will make it a 3rdparty dependency. -------------- - Robert
