Hi, > The LICENSE file has a table that maps a file to its license "key" and the > license is then stored in the (top-level) "licenses" directory (in the > header of the table, there is a note about that: "text is in file in > licenses directory").

Yep that the recommended way i.e. add a pointer to where the license is located rather than the full license text when there are many licenses. I think you are missing a couple, give me a couple of days and I’ll come up with a list for you. > Or we can change the reference in the table in the LICENSE file to > read like "licenses/CDDL-1.0" instead of "CDDL-1.0”.

It OK it just makes it very hard to check the release for what is bundled and not and what needs to go in LICENSE. >> 1. >> ./ide/css.editor/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/modules/css/editor/module/main/properties/PropertiesATest.java >> > > What is the problem with this file? Looking at the file, I am not sure > what's the problem. May of been a false positive as it contains the text: "/*!* Many thanks to Sorin Stefan and Nicole Sullivan!*(Refers to section A.
