The following do not seem to be test files, nor are they trivially short. So they should have AL headers please:
core/src/main/resources/abdera.properties.example dependencies/deps.properties The top level NOTICE file should not have the 4 line == header. Also, SVN includes the file dependencies/i18n/src/main/java/org/apache/abdera/i18n/text/data/CompositionExclusions.txt which is not AL licensed; IMO it should be attributed in the NOTICE file. Probably something needs to go in the LICENSE file as well On 01/04/2008, James M Snell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've added license headers to the build scripts and to the localization > file and log4j.properties file.
