I can confirm (with the obvious disclaimer that IANAL and furthermore that I am human so its possible I missed some things):
* all dependencies are under (revised) BSD-style or the CPL licenses, and are as such compatible with license and license policy.
* use of all dependencies complies with the respective licenses for those dependencies (which is quite easy :D), with the exception that the licenses are not provided with the end user documentation as there is no such documentation at the moment. Since the code will be merged into an existing avalon distributable, the licenses only need to be added there.
* nearly all code is licensed under the avalon version of the ASL 1.1 and has the ASL license at the top with an appropriate copyright notice, except for 2 small classes:
test.org.apache.avalon.ide.eclipse.core.resource.AllTests test.org.apache.avalon.ide.eclipse.core.resource.ProjectResourceManagerTest
These have no license header at all yet since they were mostly auto-generated. We will of course fix this before import.
* as far as its remotely possible to determine, all code appears to have originated from Andreas (besides, his signing of CLA and software grant should ensure that IIUC), so no other CLAs or code grants besides what he has sent in are required.
* no patent I'm aware of applies to the software.
* no trademark I'm aware of applies to the software.
* above and beyond no use of any names or dependencies violates any moral principles.
There is one other thing to fix:
a code formatter (so I presume) has reformatted the ASL at the top of every sourcefile to have a layout different from what we are used to with the ASL (though the text is the same). This is something that's easiest to fix using a search-and-replace before import. Which the avalon team of course promises to do :D
I am sure that Steve, Niclas and Noel will have given, are giving or will give the code a thorough look as well.
As I see it, The only thing before graduation from incubation is an acknowledgement from Jim that Andreas' CLA and software grant have been received.
Do we require a PMC vote on that as well? If so, should that vote occur before or after the initial import?
