Adding XDGF - help needed

Hi All

As discussed in bug #58087 
<https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58087>, we've had the 
offer + paperwork to contribute a new POI component, XDGF, to handle visio 
.vsdx files. The code for that is on github, at 
https://github.com/BBN-D/poi-visio

I'm currently filling out the IP clearance template for it[1][2][3]. 
There's a few bits we need help for on that, and some more we'll need 
after the IP clearance is done.

For now, I think the bits we need help with are:
  * Reviewing the dependencies, to check they're under suitable licenses
  * Work out how to alter build.xml to include the VSDX schemas in the
    xmlbeans generated ooxml schemas file, and decide if we should have
    these as another module, or if we inline them as ooxml-schemas-1.2?

And one that only Dustin can do, as a representative of the original 
authors:
  * Produce a new code dump with updated copyright headers, to match the
    standard ASF ones, in place of the current BBN ones

Thanks
Nick

Licenses for dependencies look good.  I think that the curvesapi is the only dependency (aside from POI and the bbn ooxml-visio-schemas).  Curvesapi doesn't appear to have any dependencies.

curvesapi is BSD 3 which is compatible with Apache: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html

I could take a look at that. I'll raise a spin-off bug to track if that
makes sense?
