1. People in the Incubator will complain if the tag is not containing the 'incubating' word, so copy the one you have into a new name, and kill the old tag. 2. Rat reports a lot of "????", which shows at the top as "unapproved licenses". For all files that supports comments, the Apache standard header should be used. Need to fix this. Since you don't distribute any of the "Dependencies", I would recommend that you rename it to "System Requirements". Apache allows system requirements of stuff with just about any license, whereas redistributed dependencies must be of certain kinds. My guess is that you codebase may actually "dependOn" velocity, so perhaps a bit surprise to see it not included in the distro. JavaCC is another one that should perhaps be redistributed (no problem, since it is BSD license) to simplify for users and hence stay as a "Dependency".
