Oracle formally donated the code. Donation in this case means, that all copyrights are transfered to the ASF and thus the ASF is free to apply any license it sees fit. At this time the correct license is the Apache License 2.0. The right header would then be: * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one * or more contributor license agreements. See the NOTICE file * distributed with this work for additional information * regarding copyright ownership. The ASF licenses this file * to you under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the * "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance * with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License at * * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 * * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, * software distributed under the License is distributed on an * "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY * KIND, either express or implied. See the License for the * specific language governing permissions and limitations * under the License. This can be found in neary every file on the repository. The general way (and maybe a reason to redo the PR) is: - Get the file(s) oracle donated - Extract the files you want to integrate and document how it can be verified, that the files came that donated file - Create an orphan branch (a branch without a parent), add the extracted files to this branch and document in that file how the files and from where the files came from - Do the license clean up - Make the code compilable (this might mean merging master into the orphan branch) - Get approval from PMC for integration of this massive branch into master - Done :-) This is the TL;DR version, as you can see with the CND branch, it can take much time.
