Hi, Related to ESME-47, I had a look at the current codebase, and many source files include
Copyright 2008-2009 WorldWide Conferencing, LLC In their license header. According to http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#header-existingcopyright, such copyright notices should go away for code that is developed at the ASF. The copyright notice could go to a NOTICE file if desired, to indicate that parts of ESME are copyrighted by the above company, but having it in source files is wrong as those files get edited by various people over time, and committers retain the copyright on their contributions [1], so the copyright on the individual source files is a mixture of the different contributions. I think those notices where all committed by dpp, David do you agree to remove them? And do you want the copyright to be mentioned in the NOTICE file? I'm happy to supply a patch that removes the notices, for you to commit, if that helps. -Bertrand (incubation mentor hat on) [1] See http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt - committers grant a copyright license to the ASF but retain copyright on their contributions
