[GitHub] lbruun opened a new pull request #241: [NETBEANS-112] Re-integrate DTD for RSS 0.91 feed

lbruun opened a new pull request #241: [NETBEANS-112] Re-integrate DTD for RSS 0.91 feed
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/241
 
 
   This change undoes the removal of the DTD file done by Oracle as preparation for the donation. The change fixes NETBEANS-112.
   
   It is assumed that Oracle removed the file from the donation as it wasn't theirs to donate.
   See:

   **About license for DTD file:**
   Netscape transferred the RSS 0.91 specification to the RSS Advisory Board in January 2008. From their website I cannot figure out what the license is for the 0.91 DTD file, but newer versions of the RSS spec seem to be published under the _Creative Commons Attribution/Share Alike 2.0_ license. However, this conclusion cannot be made for the 0.91 spec. No license header has thus been added to the DTD file, only a note about from where it has been downloaded.
   
   Instead it is assumed, that the DTD file fall under the
