Hi,<br>
<br>
Just a note on that license notice:<br>
<br>
There's nothing inherently wrong with that - it's the Apache License<br>
2.0 standard notice recommended by the ASF but with the EPL<br>
substituted as the license.<br>
<br>
However, I recently recommended to a developer of a new EPL-licensed<br>
JBoss-related project to use a simpler notice:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
Copyright 2012 Red Hat, Inc. and/or its affiliates.<br>
<br>
</div> Licensed under the Eclipse Public License version 1.0, available at<br>
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html" target="_blank">http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html</a><br>
<br>
<br>
That would be my recommendation here, just because we don't have any<br>
true standard and simpler legal notices seem preferable.<br>
<br>
(Substitute another copyright holder if appropriate, but for Red<br>
Hat-copyrighted source files use "Red Hat, Inc. and/or its affiliates"<br>
as above.)<br>
<br>
I dis-recommended the notice commonly used by Eclipse Foundation<br>
projects, for any of you who've seen those, because I find them<br>
annoying and they are not quite a 'standard'.<br>
