ASF GitHub Bot commented on NETBEANS-54:

URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/192
 
 
   Build fails on systems without the 'patch' command line tool.
   
     - The ant 'patch' task requires an external 'patch' tool that is not 
availble in all systems.
     - As a temporary solution I've added the patched sources to make the build 
run.
     - Later on, we may want to reuse some code from the 'diff' module to 
implement an ant patch task in pure Java.

> Reviewing the software grant [1] provided with the first NetBeans code 
> donation, my understanding is that not all files found in that zip are 
> donated.
> The grant indicates that the contents of that file [2] ("Code File") are 
> donated "excluding any third-party and separately licensed material contained 
> within the Code File". 
> I don't think we can consider that code ready to release as is, due to the 
> uncertainty that this creates w.r.t to which files are donated and which are 
> not.
> The zip archive contains about 45'000 files.
> I see the following options:
> a) Review all files and include only those which are not "third-party and 
> separately licensed material". How such files are identified needs to be 
> defined and documented, either in scripts under version control or as a set 
> of rules. The review process must be documented and traceable, so that we can 
> go back to it if problems are found in the future.
> b) Get an updated grant which does not mention such exclusions.
> If someone sees other options please discuss here or on the NetBeans dev 
> list, referencing this ticket.
