Justin says: "...any compiled or server-side interpreted source code  
MUST have the current and correct license header." And of course I  
totally agree with that. But a pom is no interpreted source code -  
it's a description of the project. So I don't think this is  
applicable. And even if it was - as Justin pointed out ...it is his  
opinion.

...but anyway.

I just want to get this f... ine release out of the door and so  
created a RC3

cheers
