Hi Craig,
These two sentences in that section are what threw me off:
"Check and make sure that the papers that transfer rights to the ASF
been received. It is only necessary to transfer rights for the
package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project."
"Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been
updated to reflect the new ASF copyright."
It'll be great to clean up that wording to say that what's required
is a license and not "new ASF copyright".
I think that text is referring to the "Source Header and Copyright
Notice Policy" ( http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html and in
particular http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#headers ).
IIRC, this used to be (still is?) referred to as the *new* source
header policy...
If the source files contained copyright statements, we would not be
able to remove the copyright statements (e.g. move them to a NOTICE
file). The copyright holder needs to do this.
