Looking at the status page[1] in the "Verify distribution rights"
section it indicates that the licensing issues were resolved by
2009-01-16 - but AIUI the final issues (LEGAL-36 & LEGAL-55) were only
resolved recently on 23rd August 2009. So the resolution date should
be updated - and perhaps a link to the JIRA issues.
