I've waited out on the vote intentionally to see what others hand. The licensing issues that RAT turned up seem minor to me, especially being in project files that are not part of a binary distribution and probably not even needed for compilation of the codebase in general.

So...

   +1 on this release

Thanks Robert! No, you don't have to feel bad about your +0 vote, you did
your part.

All: Please review this release and give me your vote so I can move this release on. At least, let me know if what Robert found is (the one file
that has old license header) is a release stopper so I can go back and
re-package the release for a new vote.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for taking your time and looking at this release.  To answer
your
questions:

The files *.csproj, and *.sln are the Visual Studio.NET project files
-- those are auto generated and thus I can't edit them outside the IDE -- the same goes to the few *.cs files that you noticed as well as the few *.xml and *.html files that you highlighted.

yeh

IMHO it's pretty naffy that you can't add headers but that's life, i suppose
- or at least m$

For the file,
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/lucene.net/trunk/C%23/ contr
ib/Sno wball.Net/Test/Analysis/Snowball/TestSnowball.cs where you
pointed out the use of the old style Apache License, it looks like
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-update-scripts didn't
do the job well here.  This is an original work -- will this issue
prevent a release?.

different people have different opinions :-/

(hopefully people will jump in here)

IMHO it's a judgment call. i wouldn't cut a release with any header issues
of this kind but i wouldn't -1 one either.

RAT is good at catching this kind of issue (though it will pick up a lot of
false negatives  for the XML and HTML files)

Thanks for catching the grammatical error in the README.txt: "An MADN ..."
I fixed it in the SVN release.

Again, thanks for taking your time and looking at this release candidate.
Please let me know if I addressed all of your questions and if I get
your +1 or -1 vote.

+0 due to old license

(but i feel a little bad about it)

- robert
