IP Clearance Question

The IP Clearance form says:

	Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright.

What exactly is the "new ASF copyright"?  Is it our standard license header?  Is it really a requirement of a grant before it's even committed?  Can't this be something done during committing the code in question or before release?

The header and, eventually, update the NOTICE file with third party attribution.

With a donation of Tiles we committed the original code into a
"archive" section of the SVN repository and copied the code into a
sandbox where we updated the license headers. After that, we checked
this step.

HTH (and I hope that it was correct :-D )

So as I understand it, the old copyright can exist in the NOTICES file
and that's ok in conjunction with the standard Apache license headers
& copyright?

I think this will be promoted now, after the recent license header
issues in another podling...
