Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have
been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright.
I'd hope that was finished a while ago :-)
It got started but we never did go through all the files to check
that we didn't miss any (which we of course did).
:-(
I just finished
a sweep through our sources and updated those that still needed
it. The record of the changes is here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-457
So, does this mean that there's files in any of the tarballs listed at
http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/download.html
that have an incorrect license header?
Incorrect might be too strong a word. IMO, "different" would
describe it better.
If so, you should be thinking about what to do with those releases --
like do a branch where you fix the headers and release new 4.1.2.2,
4.1.3.2 versions to replace them, or simply pull the 4.1.x releases and
get 4.2 out quickly, or decide there really can't possibly be any
problems for the users but add a warning to be safe, or successfully
argue there's nothing that needs to be done, or whatever.
I'd like to argue that nothing needs to be done :)
The files are all licensed under the ASL, it's just that the text
is subtly (but in my layman opinion not substantively) different
from the most recent text at
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
I think you're blessed with mentors that can offer some very expertish
insights into how to deal with things like this :-)
We couldn't agree more.
