Thanks for the work over the last week to get the release together and fix all the issues that were found.
+1 sorry for not really prioritising a complete analysis: i will do for the next few days
One thing to note: RAT has been run on all source files and any license issue related to XAP has been fixed. Robert, thanks for looking at the licensing and introducing the RAT tool it was a big help. Some template files (.html and .css) under Dojo don't have a license and don't in the Dojo repository.
that's fine: it's wrong to add new headers maybe someone might volunteer to let DoJo know (always good to feed back to upstream) in the current source, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/NOTICE.txt still needs updating. unless you prefer a separate DISCLAIMER.txt, the standard incubator disclaimer needs to be included (as well as the usual apache stuff). from what i can tell, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/buildsystem/JSDoc-1.9.9.2 is licensed under the GPL. from what i can tell, this is only used as part of the build process. hopefully, people will jump in and correct any misunderstandings i've made. this means that we only have policy worries, not legal ones :-) storing GPL'd code in an apache repository is against policy. users expect that they can modify any apache source and include it within their applications without worrying about viral licensing conditions. i'd recommend removing the source and ask that XAP builders install a version locally. - robert
