Message:
A new issue has been created in JIRA.

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAVEN-1573
Summary: Apache copyright statement in xdocs generated by Maven
Type: Bug
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Minor
Original Estimate: Unknown
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown
Project: maven
Versions:
1.0.2
Assignee:
Reporter: Guy Rixon
Created: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 6:05 AM
Updated: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 6:05 AM
Description:
In xdocs generated by Maven - typically the standard project reports - there is a copyright statement in favour of the Apache Software Foundation. IANAL, but this can't be right: the supplier of an authoring system doesn't get to assert copyright over documents made with that system. The copyright is only in the xdoc XML and doesn't get propagated to the HTML on the deployed web-site.

[jira] Commented: (MPXDOC-143) Apache copyright statement in xdocs generated by Maven
Posted by "Lukas Theussl (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>.

Lukas Theussl commented on MPXDOC-143:
--------------------------------------
IANAL either (and thank god for that), but this seems ok to me. The copyright statement only appears in intermediate files that are used by maven to generate the final result. They are basically just templates (which are Apache copyrighted) with some values filled in. They are not supposed to be used or deployed.
The only possible problem I could see is in some rss files generated by some plugins (changes, checkstyle ...?), which contain a hardcoded Apache copyright statement . I'm not sure if this is ok, but in any case, that's an issue of the corresponding plugin and should be filed there.
