[GitHub] [incubator-netbeans] matthiasblaesing commented on issue #789: [NETBEANS-1074] Module Review websvc.core

["matthiasblaesing (GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

The license of `websvc.core-external-resources.zip` is not correct and it would be better to include the files directly in the source.

- `sun-jaxws.xsd` already holds a valid license info
- The original version of `javaee_web_services_metadata_handler_2_0` can be found at
https://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jsc/xml/ns/javaee/javaee_web_services_metadata_handler_2_0.xsd and carries also a valid header
- The same is true for the original version of `wsdl_customizationschema_2_0` from http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jsc/xml/ns/jaxws/wsdl_customizationschema_2_0.xsd

We elect the CDDL as the license under which we use the files (add a licenseinfo.xml for this). We can include the source according to (second last paragraph):
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b

This way the hole external binary can be dropped and we don't have to deal with the broken license.
