guessed so
I will try to follow the license I have just found at http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-documents-20021231
good i think that we need to add a section to the notice but i'll check with legal-discuss. the answer then probably needs to be added to the release documentation on www.apache.org.

Why are you worried about them ? I guess the same policy than for the three above applies, as it is a W3C document.
thought they were but needed to check. these documents lack copyright notices. this may cause issues in some jurisdictions (but probably not the US). <snip>
These files are templates and are processed to produce actual files.
guessed so
They are meant to be processed and uses as a basis for users-code, I thought it was not a good idea to put copyrights on them, but ...
i agree that it is not a good idea to generate files with copyrights in them. however, they are source code and where this is possible it is good to have headers. if the templating language allows comments (which do not end up in the generated document) then the best approach is to use these. if this is not possible then it's probably best not to include headers and instead add a README to the directory with the header and indicating that these files are offered under the ASL. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
