I see .. That testing is very important, thanks.
I guess I am rather worried that our first reviewer actually
thought he could trust us on the IP review. I suspect I have
also been the only looking at the NOTICE and LICENSE files.
you were not the only one but I had nothing to add so far ;-)
But I don't know if you have the feedback on general@incubator to my
request for early feedback.
Yes, and that's precisely why I am worried ;-).
Marvin was surprise that our LICENSE file contains ALv2 license only
and list not all licenses of used externals.
No finger pointing but this was a surprise for me too: we were wrongly
advised that LICENSE should only carry the AL2.
I added a DISCLAIMER file (I used Apache OpenOffice but please note that
officially we still are the Apache OpenOffice.org incubator), And I did some
more cleanups on the thirdpartylicenses.html which is a good basis to
complete the information.
I plan to merge the remaining licenses but I want to keep the same
order as in the NOTICE file: we have the non-Apache stuff in two
sections according to the license category.
Any opinions on this how we can address this best?
The great weakness I've seen is that we have left most work to
Andrew and this shouldn't be a one man effort. Normal audits
are done by N volunteers dividing the tree in N parts, and binaries
(particularly zip files) have to be reviewed too. That said ...
if we had an updated OpenGrok or a real equivalent it would be
a lot easier.
As I said we don't need coders for this but this is a good way to
get to know the components and code structure under OO.
cheers,

This things are non-technical and anyone with patience and/or
some skills with grep can help a lot!
Cheers,
