[jira] [Resolved] (NETBEANS-85) Unify and decide about license
header in freemarker templates
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-85?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Laszlo Kishalmi resolved NETBEANS-85.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Reading trough the comments of PR #52, I have the feeling that this issue has been resolved, as the PR has been merged. Checked the License functionality set to a project to GPL 2.0. There were no "scary" part displayed, and the template worked well.

> There are files in the netbeans codebase that are used as template in netbeans. These templates are combined with property sets and used to generate code in users projects.
> With the first iteration of [PR #52|https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/52] on github the apache license headers were added. This was remarked as a bad idea. The reasoning:
> - The user can see the content of the template when opening the file in the template editor. And the user might be offended by seeing the license.
> As counter points it was raised:
> - a license header can be trivially added and won't end up in the generated file (freemarker supports comments)
> - it makes license review easier
> This should be decided centrally.
