Unfortunately, the damage is already done at that point. It exists in the past, for anyone to see. svn is copy-on-write, you can't change the past. I have no problems with just about anything being in a branch. Call me fucked up, make plans to blow up the world, I don't care. But license issues absolutely *must* be fixed *before* others even see it. And if others in this community disagree, then I'm sorry, you're wrong. It's not an ofbiz policy. And even if it were *just* an ofbiz policy, it's a policy that ofbiz has decided to follow, and being a member of the community means you agreed to follow it as well.
