[jwt-dev] Licensing of our code!!

Hi all,

I just got an information of the IP team that my code (jwt-we-view-uml) and
therefore probably ALL of our created licensing information (in jwt-we as
well as in other plugins) is wrong!!

Currently we have something like that:

/***************************************************************************
****
 * Copyright (c) 2005-2008
 * Eclipse Java Workflow Tooling (JWT) Project <www.eclipse.org/jwt>
 *
 * All rights reserved. This program and the accompanying materials

of Augsburg

****************************************************************************
***/

But we as the project JWT are not allowed to be the copyright owner (Eclipse
Java Workflow Tooling), but a legal entity such as University of Augsburg or
OpenWide needs to be the copyright owner. The strange thing is, that they
didn't say anything when we committed jwt-we where our license information
was/is identical...

So please be aware for any source code that you are currently preparing or
you already created and will commit in a CQ to have the correct copyright
owner!!

Best regards,

Florian

Unfortunately, we need you to amend the copyright information in the file
headers since the project itself is not a legal entity, it cannot be the
copyright holder.

Please see the following URL which may be beneficial -

Can you please amend the files and reattach. 

Regards,
Sharon
