matthiasblaesing opened a new pull request #396: Cleanup/Separate/Document licenses in apache netbeans
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/396
 
 
   With the recent release vote concerns about bundled sourcefiles were raised.
   This PR tries to address these concerns. Please see the individual commits for
   details.
   
   The primary point is the introduction of a `licenseinfo.xml` file,  which addresses
   individual files and marks these with their respective licenses.
   
   This file is then used to:
   - add info the LICENSE file about the sourcefile belonging to the release
   - ensure license is present when build
   - exclude the referenced files from rat check (they would fail it)
   - create a `nbbuild/build/rat-licenseinfo.txt` with license and comment info for reviewers
   
   Some modules where converted from the classical _rat excludes_ to this approach, 
   some files were fixed by adding the license header or removing them.
