Anybody have an opinion on this?
Now that I'm close to getting PlanetStruts up, I'd like to get back to helping with the "All code ASL'ed" item. To comply with ASF norms and requirements, we should have the "short form" license at the top of each source code file, which includes the ASF copyright. We should also remove individual copyright statements for anyone with a CLA on file (which will hopefully be everyone). If there is any copyrighted material from somone without a CLA, we will need to obtain a grant. As a best practice, we should also remove the @author tags, and be sure to credit all new contributions in the commit logs. Finally, we should rename README.txt as NOTICE.txt to comply with the ASF norm and the terms of the Apache Software License. :) And by "we" I do mean"me" :) -Ted.
