[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-306) Java source files as test data: need licensing or not?

["Geertjan Wielenga (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-306?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16335736#comment-16335736 ] 

Geertjan Wielenga commented on NETBEANS-306:
--------------------------------------------

This applies to about 7000 files, adding license headers to these test unit data files breaks the tests. For example, some tests assume particular positions in a file, which would mean – with a license header added – that the position would be wrong. Hence, as specified and allowed by Apache rules, we are allowed to not have license headers here.

> Do files such as these, in 'test/*/data' need to be licensed to Apache or since they are test data should they remain unlicensed:
