Subject: Re: [orbit-dev] More fixes needed for IP related documentation
Hi, David,
Thanks for passing this along.
I have a question, for anyone that can answer it. I think redistribution
of Apache code requires the NOTICE file to be included in any redistribution,
right? Many of the Batik problems indicate that the NOTICE file
references licenses that are not listed in the about.html. However, the
way that I bundle-ized Batik resulted in the code that is published under those
licenses actually not appearing in the org.apache.batik.* bundles.
Rather, it is all in org.w3c.* bundles.
I expect that I can't modify Apache's original NOTICE file, and I don't know
that I can just remove it, either. Is it better, then, to reference
licenses in the about.html that aren't (or may not be) actually used by the
bundle? These bundles do depend on the code so licensed, anyway.
Thanks,
Confused in Ottawa.

Orbiteers, please see this bug (and

Offhand, it seems to me there is a
lot of work to do by June 2nd! (well, ideally by then, so our final S build is
real close to what will be our R build for Ganymede.
There is too much for me to open a
bug for each person who needs to make fixes .. so, please open your own, for
any bundles you are responsible for.
This includes those listed in these
review notes, but suspect we can proactively make many fixes based on the
patterns seen in this list.
After you open your bug, please list
is as a blocks (depends-on) for bug 234485 so we can easily see progress being
made.
Thanks,

Remaining schedule:
June 2 - promote latest
S-build to 'downloads'
After June 2nd, we'd start to
produce R builds on 'committers' site,
and promote it as the final
Ganymede orbit build on ...
June 9 - promote latest
R-build to 'downloads' (and a day or two
later, remove all the S-builds).

Below is an rtf version of what is
in the bug. I've included it here, since easier to read, if the rtf survives
your mail reader.
