wicket-examples
I'm not *that* familiar with wicket-examples so I would like to hear about
if anyone knows if there are any legal issues in it know and if all the
source code in it is ASL (compliant). In particular I'm thinking about these
folders:
src/test/java/com/meterware/httpunit (doesn't seem to be used, no license
header at all)
src/test/java/nl/openedge/util/jetty (some files has a non-ASL license
header which I haven't looked through yet, and some has a short copyright
notice in Dutch)
Anything else?

Yep. I'm the author, and I'm fine with doing that.

He's the original author, regardless of the quality :-).
Move the code to the wicket namespace, and change to ASL. Or let Eelco
do so (with a critical eye) to be on the safe side.
Another option would be to flag it for removal/replacement. I have no
special attachment to these files, other than that they help run our
tests. With selenium-rc I think we can improve on our tests for
extensions though.

Hehe, does it say "All rights reserved?"
But anyway are you willing/have enough rights to change the license to ASL?
Else I will add them to NOTICE.txt

What about a file like this:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/wicket/trunk/wicket-examples/src/test/java/nl/openedge/util/jetty/JettyMonitorException.java?view=co

That code was released with the BSD licence. I'm not sure how the
ownership works; I wrote it for openedge/ topicus, but mostly in my
spare time I believe. IMNAL either, but we should be ok.

This was a fix for XML and/or JavaScript not being parsed correctly, iirc.
The httpunit license is MIT or BSD type:

This one can be changed by either me or Eelco. Eelco was the original
author I believe. It is not that much magic that is going on there,
easily retrofitted for ASL imo.
I'm not a lawyer, but if Eelco modifies the package name from
nl.openedge to org.apache.wicket, and fixes the header it should be
ok.
