Apache license in local copies of third party files?
Hi Cliff,
In CXF we use local copies for a number of third party resources, such
as wsdl.xsd, wsrm.xsd etc.. The reason for this is to avoid having the
CXF build depend on the accessibility of the remote sites hosting these
resources.
These files all come with their respective license embedded (e.g.
see http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ or
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/rm/wsrm-policy.xsd).
If we leave them unchanged, do we still have to add an Apache license to
them?
Thanks,
Andrea.

Thanks Guillaume and Cliff - that makes sense.
I'll take care of it for third party wsdl and schema files imported so far.

IANAL, but you should not put a ASF header in them.
However these licenses must be copied and referenced
in the main LICENSE file of the distribution / artifact.
