Thanks Richard!
Looks good to me....and yes, redoing the release fixes the other
problems in the notice as well which is really a plus!
Now, I'll wait with the release until tomorrow - this gives everyone
time to speak up if he thinks that the new notice is not right either :)
Regards
Carsten

Done. Check it out and let me know what you think. On the positive side,
at least the copyright year in the NOTICE file will be correct now. ;-)

Maybe...ok as this seems to be a little bit unclear I guess we should
rather add the notice (better to have it if it is not required than the
other way round).
Now, as I'm actually not 100% sure what exactly we have to add to our
notice it would be great if someone could add something to the notice file.
I'll cancel this vote and start a new one as soon as we have the notice
file updated.
Thanks

Another possibility would be to exclude the two classes in question; I
think we don't use them anyway, but I fear that the include statement
for the embed instruction gets too complicated.

To be clear, I will repost the paragraph in question:
Sun hereby grants Doug Lea a non-exclusive, worldwide,
non-transferrable license to use, reproduce, create derivate works
of, and distribute the Java Software and derivative works thereof in
source and binary forms as part of a larger work, and to sublicense
the right to use, reproduce and distribute the Java Software and
Doug Lea's derivative works as the part of larger works through
multiple tiers of sublicensees provided that the following
conditions are met:
I assume we would be considered a sublicenser of this, which I assume
means we have to abide by the same terms of the license as the one
provided to Doug.
But what do I know?

I have no idea, but the license talks about derivative works, which
seems would seem to cover this case too, no?

Yes, I noticed that :) But the oswego stuff does not redistribute the
sun binaries, it contains classes based on source code from sun - that's
why I thought we are safe.

Actually, the text of the license says:
-Redistributions of source or binary code must contain the above
copyright notice, this notice and and the following disclaimers:
Notice it mentions source or binary code...

Ianal therefore I'm not 100% sure if we really need this. My
understanding is that - as we use directly the oswego binaries - we
don't need any mention in the notice.
The above sun license is for the source code of two classes - and we
don't distribute the source of the changed java files.
But maybe I'm bending the above statement too much?

The Event Admin bundle embeds content from oswego, but I don't see any
mention of it in the NOTICE file. Looking at the web site, I see this:
All classes are released to the public domain and may be used for
any purpose whatsoever without permission or acknowledgment.
Portions of the CopyOnWriteArrayList and ConcurrentReaderHashMap
classes are adapted from Sun JDK source code. These are copyright of
Sun Microsystems, Inc, and are used with their kind permission, as
described in this license
<http://g.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/sun-u.c.license.pdf>.
Looking at the license text, it appears that a copyright notice is required.

[X] +1 Approve the release
I just noticed that the NOTICE file still has old copyright statements
(which I just corrected in svn now). But I don't consider this a blocker
for the release.
