Licensing Issues
Cocooners,
We have to resolve licensing issues quickly. I committed as many
licenses as I could find, and there are just two jars (did I miss some?)
left without license.
These are:
xml-apis.jar
jstyle.jar
Also, it was written on source forge that rdffilter is in public domain
- that's what I put into LICENSE.rdffilter. If somebody knows better way
to put it into the file - you are welcome to commit your changes.
Vadim

You can change the year - if you change the file for the first time that
year. You could even work out a script. It is also very common to have a
range. But I would not sweat over it. And certainly would agree that using
@year@ gives a bit too much to control to automation.. which is likely to
increase the chance of getting it wrong. (I.e the case where you have a
project which was totally stagnant for 5 years - i.e. not code commits -
and yeat mentions the 2002 in a (c).).

Yep. Kudos, dude.

We just include the licenses that they ship. This is not our problem.

Well, this is a little too far. We should change this to a valid year
(2002) seems reasonable)

I would suggest so, yes.

A big thanks to Vadim for all your work with getting the
various licences sorted out.
This is not a showstopper and may not even be an issue for us.
However, i noticed that many of the licences have strange
dates. Most of them say "1999" and only a couple of them say
"2002". Also the main legal/LICENSE file has Ant replacement
tag for @year@
I do not know if these are issues and i definitely do not speak
any legal-babble.
Also, does the page xdocs/license.xml now need to say that
there are other relevant licence files in the distribution, besides
the main one that is shown there?
