Matthias Bläsing commented on NETBEANS-311:
-------------------------------------------
I just noticed, that there is a whole thread on the incubator mailing list. Not
sure when I will find time to work through that. I added my points to the
issues here. What already added to one of the commits was, that we should not
get trigger happy. Randomly removing files will not do and as a user, netbeans
will be burned for me if the out of the box experience suffers (removing XSDs
will do that). Removing files and moving them to a secondary location is also
no solution - that just closes the eyes for reality (files are needed are part
of the project).
As last productive reply - a thought for a solution:
* add a "licenseinfo.xml" file to each module directory, that contains
non-apache source files
* let that file reference the files it covers
* add info:
** are these files covered by a known license (licenseref)
** should these files excluded from rat (in most cases where this is needed
this will be true)
** notice to hold additions to the notice file
** comment with the reasoning
This file could be verified at build-time:
* are the referenced present
* is the referenced license present in the license list
It could be used:
* by reviewers to verify the reasoning
* by the build system to:
** dynamicly build a rat exclude list with documented reasons
** pull NOTICE addtions from it
** include the necessary license info in the license file (I suggest to break
the LICENSE file apart and reference separate files from there, that would make
the file more readable)
* by downstream users of the sources to provide the necessary info
I think having a file like this in the modules and not using a global rat
exclude list would help understanding and could help with focused reviews.
