Hi Tomas,
We can do that (all the files should have copyright notices - something
that has to be done for BSD) - as we move to Apache releases, and
release via Apache servers, is that sufficient for you? The release
process for incubator projects is [2]. We will then be changing all
the headers of the files to the Apache standard format.
The code in the releases to date (pre-Apache) is BSD (main copyright
holder HP) but we are migrating to the Apache License v2. HP has made a
software grant to Apache as have all the other major contributors. We
have a few (less than 10) point contributions under BSD. Because BSD is
a "Category A: Authorized License" [1] there are no obstacles to
release with the Apache license from that point of view.

Hi,
I would like to ask if you could include a license file in the source
package in Jena and, if possible, other projects that come with Jena
(specifically, IRI). I am intending to package these into Fedora and the
existence of the license file in the source packages (we can't use
pre-compiled) would ease my work a lot.
Alternatively, could you please specify if the license can be understood
as BSD without alterations?
Thank you very much,
Tomas Radej
