Hi Hernan,
Actually here I am missed something here. So first of all apologies for
that. Regarding this issue I have contacted somebody who knows open
source than me. He explained me that I can edit this source code without
any issue, since you have granted me that ability as the author. In
that case Kevin's argument is more of theoretical than practical one. Am
I correct?
If you need I can go ahead with the editing for you :-) . Sorry for
dragging this issue so much.
Now I am learning about open source licenses. ;-)
Thanks,
Lasantha Ranaweera

As I said, I worked with other folks on those samples and I submitted
the patch into JIRA granting ASL, that's why I asked you if you could
fix the headers in the docs you were updating. I wasn't asking for
anything weird as you suggested in a previous email, but you're right,
I should probably go fix all those src myself.
I will work on a doc about granting license to ASF for all the docs
and attachments and put a link on Geronimo's cwiki homepage. The
license issue does not apply only to the samples but to the doc and
images altogether.
Cheers!

If those sample are added with JIRA then it won't be that much of big
problem because contributor knows it goes under ASL. I thought it might
have added as the current way of confluence itself. Even though it might
not add the license information to the source code I think it is very
important to let the contributor know that they are donating their
materials under ASL. JIRA handles that issue atleast ;).
Thanks,

Lasantha,
I either wrote or co-authored all those docs and the headers in
question
skipped my attention at that time.
I know for sure they were not there in the first releases of those
samples
as we were developing them. Apparently those headers were added at a
later
time.
Either way those samples as well as the entire documentation were made
available in JIRA GERONIMO-1357 granting ASL to all the content. But
clicking the ASL check box in JIRA does not add any license info to the
attached files.
As for Confluence itself, in the autoexported version you can read
at the
bottom of each page "Copyright © 2003-2006, The Apache Software
Foundation". Maybe this is not enough.
Confluence is just a wiki and there is no way (without major
surgery) to
modify the "attachments" page so we can click an ASL check box. Even if
there is one there would be no chance to add any ASL related info to
the
actual files.
I don't know what the solution would be so I'm open to suggestions.
Cheers!

Hi Hernan,
I can't add those modifications to the samples with propriety
licenses,
you know it is not illegal and ethical :(. Sure I can add this Apache
licence to the samples I had written.
Also one more question. Can I add this license to other existing
samples?
Somewhere I heard we can't change the distributed license to any other
license. Confluence is bit different than JIRA, nobody accepts ASF
licences before their commiting. I haven't come across this
situation at
all. Please help.
Thanks,
Lasantha Ranaweera
Lasantha,
those samples were donated to the project ergo they should only
display
ASF2 license.
This is the text we have in trunk today

Could you please remove the unnecessary (old) data and comments
and add
the appropriate lines to each of the files for all the samples you
are
updating.
http://www.apache.org/licenses may give you some additional tips.
Thanks for taking care of this.
Cheers!

Sorry to send it again. This is an important issue. Have a look
at the
attached file. I have stuck here whether to reuse this sample or
not.

Hi All,
Past few days I have been upgrading JBoss to Apache Geronimo
samples
from v1.0 of the documentation to v1.1. As part of the upgrade
procedure, when I was looking at one of the samples I found
something
that grabbed my attention in the existing JBoss to Geronimo sample
applications. Have a look at "JBoss to Geronimo - Security
Migration"
in following url:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC10/JBoss+to+Geronimo+-+Security+Migration
Source code of this sample contains some proprietary license. So we
can't do any editing this sample. Isn't it?
I'm quite new to the open source model, and AFAIK it should come
with
ASF license. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Lasantha Ranaweera
