[jira] Created: (QPID-1546) M4 RC5 Windows Visual Studio files
munged
M4 RC5 Windows Visual Studio files munged
-----------------------------------------
Key: QPID-1546
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1546
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Bug
Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client
Affects Versions: M4
Environment: Windows Visual Studio 2008
Reporter: Steve Huston
Assignee: Steve Huston
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: M4
The Visual Studio project files for the C++ build had some licensing inserted and the line endings changed to Unix. These made them unusable by Visual Studio, so they won't load. I can change the line endings to DOS easily enough, but does the Apache license have to be included in the project files (*.vcproj)? If so, can it go further down the file (right now it's right at the top and Visual Studio screams about it).
I'll fix these things Monday 22-Dec-08 if I can get clarification about the license placement.

[jira] Commented: (QPID-1546) M4 RC5 Windows Visual Studio files

Robert Greig commented on QPID-1546:
------------------------------------
I have just checked and the .NET client vsproj files are similarly broken.
The guidelines state "A file without any degree of creativity in either its literal elements or its structure is not protected by copyright law; therefore, such a file does not require a license header.". I would argue that a visual studio project file has no creativity in it and therefore shouldn't require the apache licence.
If we get agreement on this I'll commit fixes to the .NET project files too under the existing Jira for that issue.
