Hi,
It struck me while I was about to commit Bill's patch
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1686). Some files in it
(and in j2ee-schema module, actually), contain
Copyright 2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc., 901 San Antonio
Road, Palo Alto, California 94303, U.S.A. All rights
reserved.
What are the rules to store such files in our repo? Since they're in
our repo, they're ours and I was changing the header of the files in
Bill's patch to reference the ASL 2.0 license,
but am not sure if I'm
allowed to. If I'm not, they should not be in our repo, either.
Is there a mistake in my reasoning? ;) Desparately looking for a guidance...

Jacek,
Don't change the copyright statements. The only time it is acceptable to change copyright statements is when
the copyright holder has assigned copyright ownership to the ASF.
