> In reviewing an RC for Apache Commons VFS 2.1
> https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/Zjouqd6cpmohrj3
> we wondered about a file
> https://github.com/apache/commons-vfs/blob/trunk/core/src/test/java/org/apache/commons/vfs2/provider/webdav/test/JcrUtils.java
> which we have adapted from Jackrabbit 2.4.0.
> Jackrabbit has a NOTICE which includes
> > Based on source code originally developed by
> > Day Software (http://www.day.com/).
> Looking at the git history
> https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit/commits/trunk/jackrabbit-jcr-commons/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/commons/JcrUtils.java
> I think this file was earliest added in JackRabbit in 2009 by Jukka Zitting:
> https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit/commit/0882a5cc1ed4ce1cf9d3c6b3a592f97c5772ce25
> (first released in 1.6.0 and 2.0-alpha1 )
> We believe that as this file was added 3 years after graduating from the Incubator it is not covered by the "Day Software" NOTICE requirement and is just made by Apache Software Foundation - in which case no special self-attribution is needed in VFS's NOTICE file.
> I've asked on dev@jackrabbit just to verify:
