Who said it wasn't compliant?  It is [1] - and it was one of the first
projects to be in compliance in general with the updated licensing
requirements that Cliff drew up.

Your objection is solely about running a tool (which isn't documented
or linked to anywhere) to *prove* the compliance rather than looking
through it yourself - and that has nothing to do with the state of the
community and whether the podling should graduate.

FWIW, I just ran RAT and stdcxx is fine.  RAT is largely flagging the
automated test suite files output as missing the licenses.  These
particular files are used as a comparison so it can't have the license
text anyway or risk screwing up the tests.   IMO, there's nothing here
to warrant vetoing or tabling the graduation vote.  As I said before,
we can (and will) go through it with a fine-tooth comb before the
release; but the state of the licensing notices is comparable with any
other ASF project and graduation doesn't deserve to be held hostage to
some unreasonable expectations.  -- justin
