Jakob Homan commented on DATAFU-76:
-----------------------------------
OK, dug in a bit. Public domain code is allowed in ASF:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#can-works-placed-in-the-public-domain-be-included-in-apache-products
The code itself cannot be ASL licensed and there should be a note put in the
license as to its origin:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200908.mbox/%[email protected]%3E
Additionally, Adrian has requested an email, which would be nice, I guess.
That should be enough for a first pass and we'll see what the IPMC thinks
during the release vote. I *think* it will work, but am often incorrect in
these matters...

> It looks like the files in build-plugin were copied in from another github
> account. This is problematic as this code hasn't been given to ASF and
> doesn't appear to be ASL2 licensed (or even explicitly licensed at all). Is
> there no other way to include this code? If not, we need to figure out the
> licensing and copyright issues before it can be included.
