Re: [orbit-dev] More fixes needed for IP related documentation
Hi, David,

Thanks for passing this along.

I have a question, for anyone that can answer it.  I think redistribution of Apache code requires the NOTICE file to be included in any redistribution, right?  Many of the Batik problems indicate that the NOTICE file references licenses that are not listed in the about.html.  However, the way that I bundle-ized Batik resulted in the code that is published under those licenses actually not appearing in the org.apache.batik.* bundles.  Rather, it is all in org.w3c.* bundles.

I expect that I can't modify Apache's original NOTICE file, and I don't know that I can just remove it, either.  Is it better, then, to reference licenses in the about.html that aren't (or may not be) actually used by the bundle?  These bundles do depend on the code so licensed, anyway.

Thanks,

Confused in Ottawa.

Orbiteers, please see this bug (and below) for some initial review of our about.html files, etc.

Offhand, it seems to me there is a lot of work to do by June 2nd! (well, ideally by then, so our final S build is real close to what will be our R build for Ganymede.

There is too much for me to open a bug for each person who needs to make fixes .. so, please open your own, for any bundles you are responsible for.
This includes those listed in these review notes, but suspect we can proactively make many fixes based on the patterns seen in this list.
After you open your bug, please list is as a blocks (depends-on) for bug 234485 so we can easily see progress being made.

Thanks,

Remaining schedule:

 June 2 - promote latest S-build to 'downloads'
 
 After June 2nd, we'd start to produce R builds on 'committers' site,
 and promote it as the final Ganymede orbit build on ...
 
 June 9 - promote latest R-build to 'downloads' (and a day or two
 later, remove all the S-builds).

Below is an rtf version of what is in the bug. I've included it here, since easier to read, if the rtf survives your mail reader.
