License files error
All,
There is a small grammatical error in most (all?) of the license files in
various tomcat CVS repositories as described in
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10286.
Does anyone have any objection to me editing the tomcat license files to align
them with the official version (http://www.apache.org/LICENSE)? I ask since I
don't want to change the license file in case there are any legal
complications. I can't see why there would be but you never know - better safe
than sorry ;)
Mark

Files in question:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/LICENSE?rev=1.4&view=auto
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-5/LICENSE?rev=1.1.1.1&view=auto
Looking at CVS, it looks like some other jakarta projects have also had
(differenet) typo problems and also fixed their LICENSE files so I guess the
change is OK as long as it gets in sync with http://www.apache.org/LICENSE

You bet :-) Fiddling with the license, no matter how trivial, should be
checked, double checked, triple checked and approved first :-)
So what is the error ? I read on bug id #10286:

What is the incorrect repeat ?
