Metro (sun-jaxws.xml) - Licensing question

[Ben Dewey <Be...@26ny.com>]

In the metro build we are including configuration files for sun-jaxws.xml and web.xml.  Both of the files contains (what appears to be boiler-plate) sun copyright on the top[1].  Does anyone know the source of this?  Are these licenses required for using these XML files or are these just licenses that accidentally got copied over from another sample?

AFAIK, these files will fail the apache licensing rules,  if this license is required, is there any way to generate this file so that it's not included in the src?

Thanks,

Ben Dewey
