DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45755] New: fop's configuration file is distributed under Apache License

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45755

           Summary: fop's configuration file is distributed under Apache
                    License
           Product: Fop
           Version: all
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
        ReportedBy: satoru.satoh@gmail.com


fop's *configuration file* (conf/fop.xconf) is distributed under Apache
License, Version 2.0;
there is the apache license clause at the front of that file.

IMHO, It's just a configuration example and not under the influence of the
license and it 
might prevent that other software just using fop distributed under other
license incompatible 
with apache license, contain that configuration file (itself or modified
version) not under 
apache license.

Could you please consider to make the configuration file license free and
freely distributable?

That's absolutely right. But I just want to make sure that in case.

Anyway, thanks for your quick work!
(and sorry for this quite late reply.)

Makes sense what you say. I've cross-checked with the ASF's source header
policy [1] and I agree that this can be removed. But I don't think anyone would
ever have sued you if you removed the license header from this particular file.

License header removed in FOP Trunk:
