Key: DNA-271
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-271
Project: DNA
Issue Type: Task
Components: API, Common, Connectors, Development Environment, Documentation,
Examples, Federation, Graph, JCR, Maven Classloader, Sequencers, Testing
Affects Versions: 0.3
Reporter: Randall Hauch
Assignee: Randall Hauch
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.4
Attachments: AUTHORS.txt, COPYRIGHT.txt, DNA-271.patch, headers.txt
The copyright information in our source needs to be cleaned up and corrected. In
particular, we can place the copyright into a separate COPYRIGHT.txt file included in each
distribution, and change the headers to refer to this file. Then the source only contains
the license information (plus references to the copyright and authors files in the
distribution). This is actually a much better way to handle copyrights (since the year
and the copyright text is in one place, and can be annotated as required), yet does not
change any rights on existing code.
Also, SVN is the master record for each individual contribution, so pending decision by
the community, the "@author" tags would be removed from the code, which would
refer to a new AUTHORS.txt file.
The content of the AUTHORS.txt, COPYRIGHT.txt, and new header are attached. Note that
the Eclipse preferences need to be changed accordingly.
