    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-387?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16565913#comment-16565913 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------

I found, that the xml-resolver binary on maven central holds the necessary files and also the full release of xml-resolver 1.2. From my POV we were just the new kid on the block and wanted to get it right. So this is what I'll do:
 * fetch xml-resolver binary from maven central (ALv2 licensed)
 * fetch xml-resolver sources from maven central (ALv2 licensed)
 * build the patched version required by netbeans from the sources
 * merge the parts that are missing in the maven central source (don't know why the sources on maven central don't match the apache release...) from the xml-resolver binary into the new binary created by netbeans
 * package the patched binary

I think this can be closed then.

> Hello,
> Apache NetBeans (incubating) uses 3 schema files with the OASIS license:
> o.apache.xml.resolver/src/org/apache/xml/resolver/etc/catalog.dtd
> o.apache.xml.resolver/src/org/apache/xml/resolver/etc/catalog.rng
> o.apache.xml.resolver/src/org/apache/xml/resolver/etc/catalog.xsd
> The license text is here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/nbbuild/licenses/OASIS
> We would like to get cleared by LEGAL with regard to this license.
> I have found https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-111 which mentions we cannot include 'standards' in source releases but the license text does mention derivative works, etc.
> If the advice remains the same I would like some more explanations (eg. is it OK to keep the files in the source repository but just not include them in the source code release? Of course, this would make building the source release a bit more cumbersome)
