   Copyright © 2004, 2006 International Business Machines Corporation

The Apache copyright is for the collected work published by Apache, and
the NOTICE file collects all copyright notices and attributions. I don't
know if adding non-Apache copyrights to the user doc is correct, so
somebody more knowledgeable needs to say for sure.

I give this release a +1 (but realize somebody might authoritatively say
that the copyright in the overview doc needs to change).
  


We are of course happy to do whatever is correct here.  The rationale 
for doing it this way was 2-fold.


First:  although *source code* no longer is supposed to have "copyright" 
statements in the headers
(it only has license statements); the documentation (when formatted as a 
book for printing)
traditionally has copyright statements. 

Second: the documentation is often printed into a book (it has a table 
of contents, page numbers, etc.,).  As such it
would be somewhat more likely to be independently "distributed" than 
source code.  If we are going to
put copyright statements in the book, it seemed appropriate to include 
the copyright statement that would
have otherwise been in the notices file. 

But IANAL, so am happy to follow the advice of those who understand this 
area better.

The copyright statement is true, AFAIK.  Portions are still under
IBM's copyright, and acknowledging that in this way seems good to
me for the reasons Marshall named.

Such a book 'independently "distributed"' still has to adhere to the 
terms of the Apache Software Licence v2 which requires a readable form 
of the notice file (see 4d in ASLv2).


Maybe these IBM copyright notices would form a "readable version" of the 
notice file? I don't think an ASF distribution needs to contain them, a 
producer of a book would have to incorporate them into their book.


IANAL,
Dan.

Accumulated copyrights are generally accumulated (in sequence) so the
order of this notice appears odd to me too.  I would expect them transposed,
IBM the original owner/contributor, ASF the supplemental/collected works
copyright holder.

After correcting some issues in our last release candidate (thanks to
Jean Anderson for finding these), the Apache UIMA community has again
voted to release version
2.1.0-incubating.  We would now like to ask the Incubator PMC to
approve this release.

The issues that were corrected since the last release candidate are:
- Updated some files that used the old Apache license header so they
now use the newer version.
 - Our NOTICE file now includes acknowledgment that the code was
originally contributed by IBM
- Removed redundant LICENSE and NOTICE files from our source distribution
- Corrected some of the metdata in our Maven POM files (Although we
are not asking to release our Maven artifacts at this time, only our
source and binary distributions.)

Release artifacts:
http://people.apache.org/~mbaessler/UIMAReleases/uimaj-2.1.0-incubating-RC4/

The release was signed by Michael Baessler.  His public key is available here:

Here is a link to our vote thread on the uima-dev list:

We've run the RAT utility and have posted the reports, along with our

We have done thorough testing of this release, which is documented here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/UIMA/testplan21.html


We ask that you please vote to approve this release:

[ ] +1 Approve the release as Apache UIMA 2.1.0-incubating

consider showstoppers)

[VOTE] Approve release of Apache Tuscany SCA Java Kernel 2.0-alpha-incubating

2007-03-12 Thread Jeremy Boynes
The Tuscany community recently voted to release version 2.0-alpha- 
incubating of the Kernel for SCA Java.


[VOTE] to release the kernel modules
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-tuscany-dev/200703.mbox/% 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


[VOTE] to release an amended version of the sample code
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-tuscany-dev/200703.mbox/% 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


For this release we have transitioned away from a single distribution  
to a number of separate modules that can be released separately. The  
first of these are the kernel and runtime modules voted on here which  
provide a baseline (alpha) version for development of other modules.  
The source distributions for these can be found here:


  http://people.apache.org/~jboynes/kernel-2.0-alpha-incubating/
  http://people.apache.org/~jboynes/runtime-2.0-alpha-incubating/

along with a binary assembly for a standalone runtime installation.  
The project artifacts are also available through the Maven repo. For  
full details, please see the links in the original [VOTE] thread.


We would like to ask the IPMC to approve this release.

Thanks
